I was thinking that based on the profiling itself. So if you profile that the user is 18, you cannot serve them profiled ads.

You can also not build marketing campaigns based on profiling technologies.

So an advertiser would not be able to advertise a toy with a marketing strategy based on bidding on users that watch MrBeast and Minecraft videos

suddenly everyone gets profiled as being at least 18 years old, problem solved.

> based on bidding on users that watch MrBeast and Minecraft videos

but then what is the cutoff for "childish" topics? i mean firstly i'm sure there are people who aren't minors who watch MrBeast and Minecraft, but that's the lesser problem. but if i take myself as an example, i did also watch content as a kid which wasn't targeted to kids. not talking about NSFW stuff either, just stuff you wouldn't think as kids being the target audience.
