Anyone want to share dramas with age verification for kids accounts?

@shirro I can see me having fun in a while. I deliberately gave big G an incorrect birth year for my son so as to get him access to something. Can't remember what. And now that's all in Family Link.
I'm expecting the internet police to come knocking.

I gave a fake age years ago, only by a year to get around some bullshit. Had to correct that when I verified :-(

He is a good kid. He doesn't give a shit about crap like social media. I just wanted to install an open source email client for our self hosted family email and I had to get it via f-droid because its apparently for 18+ on google play. Like he is old enough to download and compile it from source. What is this bullshit? It let him have Signal though that was a while back. The younger kids are all on family link - but 17?
