Re: Minimum Age verification

On your third point David, a reasonable right to know my age.  If we take
the assumption that all countries have the same age of consent (18), which
I know is not the case, a minimum age verification system should not be
telling me your age, only that you are either an adult or a minor.  That is
the scope from my perspective.  Is that achievable?
