This is not "to protect the children" as they claim. Children still get
access by VPN or even by putting make-up on their face to look older
(this is proven to fool the age detection) or by using their parent's

The funny thing is that the companies behind the social media have to
adapt and do the age check. So even more personal data is sent to them.
Crazy!
