Underage, you will be unbanned when you turn 18 (happy birthday in advance)

Yeah, it seems a little odd to do a full ban for anyone under 18. Do they feel that all communities on there are not appropriate for minors?
Afaik, there are laws and regulations that make it more difficult to collect personal information about minors including their email address. I imagine the admins understandably just don’t want to deal with that.
That’s not really relevant in this case though, federated profiles don’t contain any of that information. They just contain the public posts and comments and anything the person might have added to their profile bio directly. They don’t contain personal information of any kind.
That’s a fair point that I have not considered. It’s much easier to claim ignorance as an instance admin, if said user did not spill they were underage. It’s indeed far more likely that they do not mind, but if the evidence is clear as day, they can not ignore it anymore either.
Yes and I fully agree. Online interactions are unrated by PEGI for a reason.
