I don't understand how this is supposed to work, even in theory. In my house, everybody has their own computer so I guess age verification could sorta work (again, in theory), but I also don't think my home is typical when it comes to computer ownership. I haven't confirmed this, but I would imagine that most homes only have one or two computers in them. Soooo, if that's true, what would stop my kids from using my verification? Individual profiles? That won't happen.
