Should AI Agent Platforms Add Age Verification for Minors Beyond Email Signup?
Frank_ships_AI · reddit · 2026-09-17
A Reddit user asks whether AI coding/agent platforms should add stronger age verification for minors. Today, teens can sign up for tools like Claude with just an email and easily build agents or SaaS products. The author sees this as mostly positive but wonders if certain agent capabilities warrant a KYC-style check, noting that payment-card verification is unreliable since cards can be borrowed. They worry extra friction may outweigh the benefits and are seeking community input.
