If you let children vote, they will be even more the target of propaganda and brainwashing. Let people enjoy their childhoods free from that burden and responsibility, they will have their share for the rest of their lives.

    Not saying what we have is perfect, but its probably as good as its going to get. Its quite coherent actually, as soon as you are a legal adult, you can vote and that right can't (in theory) be taken away from you. Even as it is, evil people try to find all types of way to dissuade, invalidate and suppress voting. I actually think the majority of people wants the best for everyone, that's why there is all this effort to remove as much votes as possible. Restricting by age would would add to that.

    Restricting is hardly ever a solution for anything. You might have an 80+ better informed than a 30/40. What about people with mental issues, even if temporary (like depression) ? Sure you could have a system to validate who is "apt" to vote, but that system and the people who enforce it can be rigged. The better option (not that it's easy or even feasible) is to flip the issue around and try to provide good, impartial information to everyone.

    I think some kind of stealth technology. Not gonna do much pirating if they can "see" you coming days / weeks in advance, space is big and mostly empty. Either that or so much traffic that you can blend in.
