It is indeed a hard provlem. No low hanging fruit. There certainly not alone, but have a bigger issue with grooming and predation since half of all kids use their platform.

It would be an easy problem if the government put in place sensible reforms for age verification.

Implying there's a simple solution that isn't being implemented because they weren't forced to by law. So what is that simple solution?

Children typically don't have any form of government issued ID. You can verify someone is a legal adult (you probably shouldn't, but the point is that you can) whereas you can't easily verify that someone online is a child.
