No operating system needs to know the age of a user, it's just not within the scope of how it operates normally. Software will always be bypassed no matter what the law is. Brb, "moving" my computers using a VPN.

    I can actually imagine this being pretty useful on phones so you can give a kid a phone but prevent it from installing certain software (from normal sources)
