Absolutely agree with this. Any age verification mechanism is always about censorship and control, not about helping kids. The only thing that helps kids is them being taken good care of and provided guidance at all levels: in the family, in the school, in the society. But that's a deeper social problem and no one gives a damn about solving that problem.
