Shouldn’t parents be enforcing it?
Yes of course. But that’s the problem, isn’t it – if a kid gets hurt, blaming the parent doesn’t do anything to help the next kid either.
Age verification doesn’t work and doesn’t protect kids, parental approval doesn’t work and doesn’t protect kids, so these tools need to be aware kids are on their platforms and find better ways to reduce the harm.
