As a parent, I reckon a voluntary system like this (if I understand correctly) could be very handy. I could create a child account and automatically get age gated content for it.

And when said child is smart enough to circumvent the system, then they deserve whatever content they manage to get their hands on. I'd be so proud.

But I'm sure capitalism would find a way to abuse and misuse the system for gains.
