The obvious solution is a government age verification service. Platform age verification is just more data collection, I highly doubt it will even keep kids off social media.

    I don't necessarily disagree.

    Though it does raise concerns about government identity systems and fascist governments...

    I grew up thinking that was a ridiculous anachronism, but looking at how far the US has fallen, I do understand the concern.

    Imho the best option is just OS level enforcement. You buy a device, you set up accounts on them, some can be kid accounts, those ones have their web fetches always include their restrictions.
