That just moves the exact same question to a slightly different place. How do you verify someone accessing the real internet is an adult without destroying anonymity and therefore privacy?
Well now parents have a choice, only give their own children access to the KinterNet
Didn't answer the question.
Oh I'm sorry. I should be more clear. You don't. You don't verify people are adults. the capability to verify that is the same capability you need to oppress.
You enable parents to have the right tools to affect what they want for their children. But it's the parent's responsibility to let their kids use cell phones independently without a VPN without internet controls.
It's on the parents to parent their children. If they want to control what their children sees then the parents need to control what the children's devices can do. We can't turn the entire world into Disneyland because a parent doesn't want to deny their child the internet.
