The proper way to implement OS age verification is just entering your birthday when you setup your user account. No online checks or face scans, just enter your birthday on setup. Then any time a website or program wants you to verify your age, it hits an OS API that returns this birthday.
This way, parents could supervise their child during account setup once, instead of all the time at every website (children that will format their OS can't be stopped anyway), AND normal adults will never be bothered by a pointless age gate pop up again.
1- A child's account should not have administrator privileges to format the device.
2- If the child is savy enough to get into the BIOS of a PC to boot into a different OS ( or dumb enough to wipe all the PC's data by overwriting it with a fresh OS install ), that kid is smart enough to find another way to fool age verifications.
All of this is BS : the decision to restrict a child's access to electronic devices rests ON THE PARENTS. Everything ''smarter'' than a toaster has a parental control setting.
You can even set your house's WIFI to cut-off Internet during certain hours on a per-device basis.
This is not a technical issue. As a parent, the only time I don't have total control over what my kids see is when they're at school (which an actual issue that governments should be dealing with).
Speaking of actual issues, this isn't one. At least, not in my top 10.
My number one concern regarding my kids is that thugs and perverts the crack house my government built beside the local school attracts don't catch them unawares or without backup.
The close second is the government run school employees trying to groom, degenerate, and possibly inject my kids with God knows without even bothering to tell me.
After that, it would be how my kids are going to find work competing against infinite immigrants who hire within their own peoples, ethnic gang violence, finding decent spouses in a White population that is both diminishing and denigrating, etc.

But then they wouldn't be able to track and surveil you so they'll whine about people lying at setup. This was never about child safety.
Seems a lot easier to just use a browser that lies about the flag.

When does the government talk about any of that?
