Nobody's enforcing it so who gives a shit?

Because once people accept age-gating for any and all websites, enforcement (i.e. age verification) becomes a much easier sell to the average person who doesn't care about their privacy.

    That hypothetical doesn't seem to have happened in reality, because these terms have been standard in almost all TOSs for decades and yet age verification is not suddenly an easy sell.

    Do you not read the terms of service before creating an account on social media?!?!
