When I was 8, I remember being bored and curious and touching a lot of parents stuff... phones... wallets... legal documents...

Most parents don't put their stuff in safes...

Like... THE WALLET IS RIGHT THERE... I COULD JUST GRAB IT!

If they had age verification stuff back then... I could've just... quickly snap a pic of their ID and just YOLO it...

It's more about a difficulty barrier.

You could grab your Dad's ID, you could AI his face, his voice, even his writing style. But if that's too inconvenient/finicky for 90% of the population, that's "good enough" for the liability escape/coercive control the system is intended to create.

    Kids these days? I remember putting a IRC/Runescape combo program on a flash drive so I could play Runescape with my guild during computer class 20 years ago. I have no idea why it got around the network restrictions, but it did.

    Edit: The after school computer club turned into a Wolfenstein LAN party after somebody got on the teacher's account and put a pirated installer on the shared drive.
