    I agree, but time and time again, it has been proven that banning people from somewhere on the internet is not the right way of doing things. It makes them want to get in even more. Especially with teenagers who are going through a rebellious phase while building their identity. It should be on the parents to educate their children better and set parental controls (if needed) at home.

      That‘s correct. Government overreach is the completely wrong approach, adult users should not have to prove they are not a minor. Parents who get their child under 16 a smartphone etc. or allow them to create accounts or buy things themselves should be fined about 1000 $,€,£ or whatever. Which optimally go directly to social services for children like education, sport parks, analog game festivals. If you put 5 year olds in front of an iPad, what the fuck do you expect them to become other than socially inept, right wing extremist morons?
