The quoted proposals in the article, where they touch on privacy and security, only talk about keeping children safe from other users NOT from the service provider itself. So selling children's data to advertisers is not affected?
Service providers will have identified the child quite precisely if they have had to request proof of age, making their data even more valuable.
There are provisions in other laws about that, e.g. the GDPR.
