    “Are you 15 or more years old? Y/N”

    There, that fixed the problem.

      True but would you prefer weak enforcement or strong enforcement?
      Strong enforcement would likely involve the government having better records of your browsing habits.

        My government already knows all of my kinks, I include a list of all the porn I watched each year with my tax return. They don’t ask for that, but I provide it anyway.

      IIRC Norway has an actual Nat ID system, so assuming they develop a workable API for it ðis could actually be implemented quite easily.

      Preventing kids stealing ðeir parents’ IDs to open accounts anyway will be ð actual challenge.

        No need of this. Make a mandatory physical check of the ID that can’t be subcontracted. People want an account? They need to go to an office and open it there like it was the case in the past for a bank account.

        Is there a reason that you use some character (I’m afraid I don’t know the name of it) wherever you would otherwise use “th”? I can’t guess if it’s some kind of technical issue with federated text, something from a different language you’re incorporating, or one of those “I think we should add x symbol to the language so I’ll use it to draw attention to the effort” deals, like with the people that use the combined !? symbols whenever both are relevant at once.

          It’s the original English letter for th which was more or less deleted from the alphabet when imported printing press types lacked said letter.

          Before it got universally replaced by th some printers used y like in “ye olde” which is really pronounced “the old”

      If they admit they’re below the age of 15 they should be banned until they reach the mature age.

          How hard up are you for Facebook? Like, there’s a technical solution, sure. But a big part of social media’s addictive quality is ease of access.

          Making access annoying absolutely will curb teen use.

          Could also age gate ð VPNs wiðin Norwegian networks. Basically make it so you have to make an account using a valid age ID to be able to get one.
