There's a fair chance you could even say something over 8 years old would be too, as I doubt many ten year olds would be signing up for email addresses, X, youtube etc.
Some porn sites have taken a similar approach. In response Ofcom said that there is no prescribed way to carry out age verification, but that website owners & staff must ensure that the method used is accurate and robust.
