If you are manually changing defaults on PC deployments the pain is a feature. Get your shit together.

Five EU States To Test Age Verification App To Protect Children (reuters.com) 65
France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, and Greece will pilot an age verification app to better protect children online, as part of the EU's push to enforce its Digital Services Act. Reuters reports: The setup for the age verification app is built on the same technical specifications as the European Digital Identity Wallet which will be rolled out next year. The five countries can customize the model according to their requirements, integrate into a national app or keep it separately. The landmark legislation, which became applicable last year, requires Alphabet's Google, Meta, ByteDance's TikTok and other online companies to do more to tackle illegal and harmful online content. EU regulators said the new guidelines would help online platforms to tackle addictive design, cyberbullying, harmful content and unwanted contact from strangers.

They refuse to do simple things like removing (invasive) highly flammable eucalyptus or requiring automatic water shutoffs to prevent burnt homes from bleeding the hydrants dry. I'm sure there's plenty of other things they could implement, such as requiring less combustible materials like brick or stucco.

It's almost as though you shouldn't build your home in a place where "fire winds" have been a known thing since the 1800s. Government probably shouldn't be subsidizing insurance for them either.
