- some draft legislation floating around is fairly conservative in application (e.g. requiring explicit collection opt-outs) likely because of the above consideration
- consent of collection/use/distribution also kind of interesting, much of the guidance around data consent explicitly treats persons older than 13 differently when it comes to consent to collect/use/process information i.e. parental/guardian consent may not be sufficient for many applications (including computing access)

My takeaway on the current state in Canada is: - An OS can mandate age collection (as long as it stays on device) - Mandating such collection will face issues. - Deployment of an OS that mandates age collection could be an issue - Any attempt to use that collected data will face issues (especially if developers are required to be deemed to have collected it)
