No one under 18 years of age or under the regulated minimum age defined by your local law (whichever is higher), is allowed to use or access the website.

Curious choice

Dealing with data protection laws surrounding children is a MASSIVE pain. Most Lemmy servers ignore the GDPR safely, but ignoring COPPA is a bit harder. And that doesn't even take into account the recent rise of laws blocking teenagers from social media, with varying ages and consent laws.

"safely" as in are too small for the regulatory bodies to care. Takes one report though.

Basically. Although, it kind of depends on what a server gets reported on first. If it's just something like account deletion or data exports, that can be done manually, just not on scale.

It's legal boilerplate.

There's probably some law that require it.
