@mhoye (it's also not in any way about "your computer not working for you". the minor's computer works, they just send an extra bit to a website saying they're a minor. the website can ignore that! the only websites likely to care are those legally required to respond to that bit with a service denial. it's possible you're upset at the very idea of "websites have legal obligations" but then everyone who's arguing for "no age bit" usually says the way to solve this is for websites to instead be legally obliged to do _much more extensive_ content moderation, and have direct content liability and all sorts of stuff that would have vastly more chilling effects. so like I'm not even sure what the counter-proposal here is. should publishers or platforms have any responsibilities?)
