In the end it is the most logical, when someone sets up an android or an iphone they already need an apple or google account and to enter their age. The same with Windows. Any device configured by default by a minor should already have a parental control that does not allow them to access adult sites via rtba label, keywords or whatever. This should be the only parental control standard that would work and cause the least problems for users, and the most respectful of privacy laws, GDPR and other bullshit.
Anything other than this is not acceptable.

I totally agree.
But there is the dilemma when you're not a industry giant that could potentially afford to fight this in court, or just take the hit if getting sued.
There are likely many who is firmly with you in your arguments but that also looks towards taking steps to minimize the risk of getting a nasty bill over this.
As I understand the EU requires only some kind of age gate, not real verification.
So if you're hosting your business within the EU, that should be everything you need to fly legal?
Hopefully there will be more clarity regarding all of this soon, or at least someone to explain it to people like me using simple terms
