the law is implemented to that it is useful for everyone to claim they are 3. It will be trivial for kids to change their age (via exploits that will spread like wildfire in schools), so it is useless for keeping kids from adult only content.
if you want a useful system you need cryptographic traceability to someone who leagally vouches for ages - this is a complex system that cannot be mades in a year.
Did... d-did we just accidentally find an actual valid usecase for blockchain technology?
oh, nvm then
Blockchain has some useful ideas, but it also has some ideas that fail my test. For starters the personevouching age needs to be identifiable so they face liability if a kid is found with an adult id. Real cryptographers will have a lot of work needed to get the idea workable.
