This is unacceptable. If I own a computer, I expect to be able to build and run any program, either written by myself or others, without asking anyone for permission.

Maybe I needed to say "it merely requires the existence ...". Because I then do go on to say:

> And they are only required on the devices actually given to kids

My whole point is that this limits the blast radius, compared to any solution involving "age" (read: identity) verification which has a blast radius of every computing device!
