Content shouldn't target 10 to 14 year olds, sure. But, in practice and mathematically/statistically, I'm not sure what that means. Even if algorithms ignored age completely, there would be statistical correlates.

We should probably ban algorithms suggesting content and ads for dark things for everyone i.e. cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, misleading health content. It is honestly bad for everyone and that's actually the only way to prevent kids from seeing it.

It's not just about ban evasion. It's also about kids seeing this content everywhere.
