I believe some of the language in the Act requires service providers to not make it "easy" to avoid the requirements of the act. I know one concern was that identifying exactly the magic year might be construed as violating COPPA. That, for example, is why essentially zero sites ask: "Are you 13 or older" -- it leads the user too clearly. There is some doubt as to whether asking per year up until 13, and then having an "I'm old enough" category is also violating. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer! Nick
