Will this be good for both Youtube and Coppa?

I know I'm a bit late and It's been ike 5 months since COppa but IDK I just thought of an idea that would benefit both Kids and Adults. If you use Youtube and you are not signed to an accound or the account is below 18 years old......the COPPA Effects like no Comments, Notifications, no saving the videos will apply but if your account is above 18 then COPPA will not Apply. It's not like 10 year olds will lie about their age. The parents jsut have to make sure the child is telling the truth on their age and they are free to search youtube.

    Sadly, YOUR understanding of people putting their correct age is VERY WIDE of reality, sir.  Not everyone creates an account whilst in the presence of a parent, plus, once they've been shown how to create an account on YouTube ... or, indeed, ANY social media website, they can simply create another account, using a different pseudonym.
