In practice your ISP already has this information and more (all traffic you're currently transacting). The information is less distributed than it would be in the case of providing all and sundry online publishers with that same information, and would offer less effective privacy control over how that information is used.
For those who'd bypass their ISP's access limitations/controls using a VPN ... you've now got additional complications and really no less effective control than voluntary age-disclosure rules.
Another option would be imputed age classification, which again is something that major sites (e.g., Google, YouTube, FB, Instagram, TikTok) can already perform via algorithmic / AI assessments of marketing categories based off of on-site activities, consumption trends, etc.
- amarant 2y agoI think you may have misunderstood my post, as you appear to be arguing against me while basically repeating my sentiment. Read again and I you will find I say I am NOT worried about data leakage, but only that the ISP will lock me out of content they shouldn't because they're incompetent. YMMV but my ISP would definitely mess that up somehow.
