Something like, you can register at 16 with your parent’s permission

Point is - how do you prove the person is of the "right" age noninvasively? Not like the mainstream social media platforms were already friendly to anonymity, but all the methods I can think of are on a whole another level.

I know, that's very muddy waters right there.

But again, i only meant that for the big platforms.

I don't think age verification should be necessary on the Fediverse.
