I said it before and I'll it again, the best solution for this is to have a standard API where device admins can **optionally** set a age group, and that treats an unset value as signalling unrestricted access. This is so simple it's almost impossible to fuck up, parents get a parenting tool, most people can just ignore it, and big brother can go on a long vacation.

This is what the California law requires BTW (except it makes the field mandatory which is shit). IMO in this case the EU solution is overcomplicated, it just feels like they needed an excuse to get more out of the COVID certificate investments...

That would be a good way to do it, if the goal was to be able to restrict/protect kids. Unfortunately, this have very little to do with that.
