alt Hacker NewsDoes this imagined underage kid that right now lies about his age in UI-form have a case because it wasn't on OS level?
I genuinely don't know, and it's hard to see what's the differences between those two cases are.

I'm not a lawyer, but it's clear that this changes the narrative. If some technical restriction is in place (OS level age statement with apps who enforce it) and the kid circumvents that, it's easy for a company to claim that they did their part and all blame is on the kid. Without that, it's trickier for the company who intentionally created some addictive product to prove that they did enough to protect the kid.
