Easy. You set the age in the os (or age range) per system account.

Apps can then request this and allow/ deny based on it. Requires admin / sudo to update age range.

No need for 3rd parties, id or anything else.

If parents are concerned about it they can implement it easily. If not, they can ignore it.

    So any unchecked web/app developer can see if a child is visiting their site? No thanks. This will make children less safe.

    I will VPN to mars before I upload my ID, or that of my child for that matter. Not a chance in hell.

    But it needs to be verified there first in some way, and then services will need to somehow verify that your device properly verified it.

    And which of those systems are secure themselves, oses and their manufacturers - the answer is none. None are secure enough to trust that private information on mandatory verification systems. Not the base systems nor any systems that would share any approval tokens.
