> Many of these laws have also faced legal battles I'm assuming that's because "the founding fathers are against it" because they lived in a time when 8 year olds worked the fields?

Major reason for this is that many of these laws get warped and used to overstep their stated objective. Perfect example is chat control.

Due to existing laws such as COPPA, Meta already has in its terms of service that kids under 13 aren't allowed to use Meta AI: > Without limiting the Meta Terms of Service or any other applicable terms or policies, you cannot access AIs if you are under the age of 13 (or such greater age required in your country or territory) The problem with this is enforcement. How does Meta actually prevent an 8-year old, such as in the case Hawley is referring to, from using Meta AI against the ToS? The "obvious" answer is requiring some kind of age verification, but that gets into (adult) privacy issues incredibly quickly. It's not surprising that laws that require you to send even more private information such as your government ID to Meta (or questionable third-party verifiers) aren't exactly popular.

    How would it work in the real world? I guess if one didn't have a mechanism to check for a legal requirement before offering a service, then I guess they just can't offer that service. It's that easy.
