I'm fairly skeptical of the findings, as the majority of the research and writing was done by Claude Opus. I'd be more likely to believe groups like AIPAC are behind this - they have poured a lot of money into online censorship legislation.
I saw this posting from here the other day about how it’s meta wanting to pass the buck to OS and browser vendors a la Section 230: https://web.archive.org/web/20260313125244/https://old.reddi...
Which doesn't mean that isn't the right place for the age to be set.
Okay, I've learned a bit more about this - the motivation is COPPA fines, which cost Youtube $170M in 2019, Epic Games $275M in 2022, etc.
Meta is in the middle of a huge multi-state lawsuit (33 attorney generals), so they have a lot of incentive to do this.
