Parents will buy said hardware for their kids.

  Well, that's fine, then; with enough clear labelling, that's legally entirely the parents' fault.

    Google already requires accounts with a birth date indicating they are 13 or older, thus not subject to COPA, to verify their age via charging a credit card or sending in a copy of a government issued id. Any kids that were watching either stole a credit card or their parents created the account for them. The FTC decided this was not adequate, so I don't expect they would deem your scheme compliant either.

      What? I don't remember sending Google an ID when I last created an account.

    News flash! They already did buy specialized hardware that you need to be over 18 to buy! It's called a smartphone with a data plan! There is pretty much 0 way that you could say that purchasing a universal communication device is carte blanche for a child to view any content online.
