I don’t understand how id-ing the buyer helps? What is the age restricted good here?

Are you saying that kids now buy their phones with pocket money without their parents knowing?

> It's obvious we're moving in a direction where we are going to get these restrictions in one way or another

It’s not obvious, it’s just sad. I still hope reason will prevail in this.

The age restricted good is an unrestricted computer.

Oh, that actually seems ... bad. On the gripping hand... restricted in which way? I learned to program on the BBC B, for instance.

I keep thinking that computers that are actually made to be good for children should be a thing. Perhaps like "A Young lady's Illustrated Primer" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age )

Did you buy your own BBC B though?
