On the other hand, it's one of the least intrusive proposals I've heard in this round of debate. The parent flags the account as a child, the browser sends one (or more, in this case) extra bit indicating if it should receive the adult content (whatever it might be) or not.

No ID verification, no face scanning, no credit card checks, no companies building profiles of everybody on earth and sharing them with shady institutions. Plus, it pushes the responsibility back to the parents, who (hopefully) know the child the best, and can adjust the restrictions either way if needed.

Now I can finally accept that the age verification issue is merely "controversial", instead of absolutely evil global conspiracy.

And have one more competing product if they ever decide to try again? How dare you! :D
