I have been a kid and now a parent. It is impossible with the tools available to proof kids from the internet. If it's not a parent it's at a friends house, school devices, or a dedicated sense of curiosity.

Two things tech companies want to protect:

The perception of anonymity

Who gets to collect that information

I agree that a smaller loop of people should have that data but the loop is growing every day.

So if it ruins the perception anonymity for young naieve users so be it.

I'm not saying it's impossible to be somewhat anon, I'm just saying untrained users should understand the environment they're interacting with before they get hooked on useless products.
