    I don’t care about the user’s age, I care about their behavior.

    There are adults here that act immature and bicker like a child, I don’t want those either.

    Its easier to enforce a code of conduct and ban users with bad behavior, rather than something arbitrary, like age.

    How are you even suppose to verify someone’s age without violating privacy?

      Interesting. I think most users would assume they’re talking to other adults and might change their language or behavior if they thought they were conversing with children

      Age is anything but arbitrary from a law perspective. With these laws there is no expectation of privacy in regards to age. I’d argue there never was, it was just poorly enforced and got normalized
