Absolutely not, age data is biometric data. It can and will be used to fingerprint you.

    So just put in a different DOB. My suggestion is entirely self reported. The point is for parents to be able to setup a device and have a single point of control.

    1. I still have an issue with that. It's like having a public facing UUID. "Man these 'users' all born at the same time seem to have similar habitats.

    2. You're not thinking ahead. Think about the people who aren't even part of the discussion today. Will they know not to answer truthfully?
