Are you trying to advocate for mandatory age checks?

There’s lots of infrastructure that could help:

  • requirements on how children are identified in parental control apps,
  • requiring APIs so third party apps can manage parental controls,
  • requiring standardized language in UIs so parents know what their kids are in for,
  • required messaging for various events - I wanna get a goddamn email instead of a notification on an app I never use
  • not requiring parents to use the service their kids are using

Being able to use a third party app to manage everything would be perfect.

I have at least six parental control apps that I need to manage. Each one is different and has different ways of expressing the same things. They all require different accounts and have different ways of identifying my kids.

It would be fucking amazing to have some standardization, or, even better, a single interface that would control all those stupid apps. A unified view of my kids interactions, friend requests, usage time, etc would be really helpful.

Yes, it’s crazy. An you are in the top .0001% of parents that could even put that together. A unified global parental control would be better.

But look at how much people freak out about the thought that the government might ask them for their age. What you are describing would require a true self-identification system.
