Nice. How does pornhub.com "verify" your age when accessing it from your family computer's Ububtu account "my kids account"?

Oh, there is no config to retrieve, no We API to speak to.

"I'm 18 or older"-button it is. Is that a workable solution?

Well let's postulate parent set age on that up Ubuntu account to 13. Pornhub will query browser spi, which will query os API. Very elegant.

Ofc as soon as you give your child root access it is over but that is on you

You don't need root access to install ~/haxxor-firefox-that-lies-about-your-age
