Yes it’s similar, which is the point. Age restrictions have been normalized regardless of effectiveness.

  > Age restrictions have been normalized regardless of effectiveness. For the record. A law doesn't stop anything. All a law does is says "If some behaviour meets definition X AND the state becomes aware of it, then consequence Y will be applied by the state" The hope is that people will see that and make a choice that ensures that they aren't liable for the consequence. It's also, like everything, as effective as the enforcement. If it's not enforced well, nobody will abide by it.
