One idea put forward is, during set up, for a child's date of birth to be input. This would only make adult sites available from a given age

Various judiciary systems throughout the world have confirmed that social media (and other) sites are responsible for having a duty of care for their users so, even if this measure were adopted, they would still need to make reasonable efforts to protect users.
