Should supermarkets just sell alcohol to 10 year olds?
I think there are plenty of places where age gating makes sense as a concept, it really is mainly the data security that’s an issue. The other is that it should be somewhat circumventable, which I think mainly requires it not being tied to identity (so much like you could get someone older to buy you alcohol you could get someone else to verify your age).
What I think is bad is age gating social media instead of doing something about how harmful it is because clearly adults are not immune and all that does is make it harder for children to get important information.

Yes, alcoholism is a huge problem is 10 year olds. We better focus on that instead of literal pedophiles on Roblox.
I’m not talking about that… I agree that you can’t sell alcohol, or cigars, or anything like tat, to children.
But there’s a difference between that and online content.
I didn’t said age gating was bad in alll contexts, but that age gating information, media and content is bad.
