There’s a version of this I could support:
- pre-specified age gates baked into the protocol (perhaps just 13 and 18).
- account admins on a device get to specify which bracket is associated with the account
- an api that allows sites to query whether the current user’s account is above one of the thresholds
Leaks pretty minimal PII (the user is between 13 and 18 would be the tightest identifier obtainable with the above gates). But still allows for age gating some content without relying on self-reported age.
Am I optimistic the actual solution won’t be more invasive? Sadly no…
