No. It's a huge manipulation.

1. If all platforms introduce age verification by law, then no platform gets unfair advantage by not having them.

2. Age verification obviously allows them to gather even more data about users.

3. Age verification creates the illusion of there being "a safe internet" which is extremely important to parents who give their children iPads so that the kids shut up and fuck off, while the spread of brainrot can continue undisturbed.
