Almost. Technically an adult must create an account for any non–adult who wants to use the computer, and configure it with the appropriate age category.

Honestly it’s the dumbest thing ever. Best just not to play that game.

How is that dumb? It seems reasonable and pragmatic. If the current status quo is ID uploads and face scans, this seems like the better approach. It shifts the responsibility back to parents. All adult service operators have to do is filter requests with the underage HTTP header set.
