the only way to have privacy-preserving age checks is when there’s a variable on the phone that stores whether the user is old enough. and gives that data forward to apps/websites trying to do age checks.
that variable can only be changed if you’re the rightful owner of the device, i.e. if you paid for it and have a code that’s on the purchase bill or sth. and children wouldn’t have access to that.
This wouldn’t work and be moot because phones and other devices are purchased by parents and guardians not children.
If you are saying the code should be changed by parents to access social media with default off. It would be difficult for most people due to low levels of tech literacy

then they should hand out access tokens at the supermarket (need to be 18+ or 16+ whatever the age limit will be)
