So the OS would also have to have built in content filters or what?

    Software would ask the OS for the age range of the user (under 13, 13-15, 16-17, 18+). The software would implement content filters based on these age ranges.

    The OS is only responsible for requiring the user to set an age and providing the age range to software.
