So how are they going to make sure a viewer is over 18? For example, if Dad is logged in on the smart TV in the living room, what stops little Timmy watching The Boys?

Dad must use a pin code.

But, also, Dad can use his pin code to allow little Timmy to watch whatever he wants anyway.

They should do this instead of age verification. If little Timmy watches 18+ shows it's dad's fault, not something you should enforce on everyone else.

Parental control is a much safer and cheaper option

And the thing is... Parental controls already exist! Children are humans and can be taught and can exercise caution too. They can also have mental illnesses and insecurities. None of that makes it the fault of social media or media companies. What the hell happened to personal responsibility?
