No, no. Don’t give websites a way to check the user’s age.

Age restrictions are different across countries and cultures. Parents disagree on age ratings given by boards all the time.

Have apps and websites declare the objectionable content they have, and let the device decide if it will show it or not according to parental controls.

If you’re a parent that pays attention to age ratings, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The age is meaningless. It’s the type of content next to the rating that’s important.

Your only option as a parent now to let your 14 year old play a violent game rated M that you specifically allowed is to give them a fully unrestricted device. They can now use that device to access gore, porn and gambling as well. How does this make any sense?
