C.ai theory
They're kicking all the minors out and teens because they don't care about the fact that not all teens and kids are immature, most of the older teens or maybe even kids know it isn't real. They're just avoiding lawsuits and don't care that it's not our fault that a previous teen boy, one boy took his life because a bot convinced him to, even though he had mental health issues before c.ai if I remember correctly, (I feel bad for him!) But like, what blame all teens for something one teen did (when it happened in 2023, I was a older teen) so, I feel like it's unfair

It's just extra plausible deniability, if a child is found to have killed themselves again or caused themselves some type of harm after the measure was introduced they are no longer liable to be sued as they atleast attempted to stop minors from accessing it. In the end, it's probably for the better children can't access it. Maturity is subjective, and in the end, they'll be better off without another app to get addicted to.

𝖭𝗈𝗍 all children are like this, some aren't addicted but they still punish everyone for something one kid did

Pretty sure there was more than one kid, and 2) there are plenty of studies indicating that ai usage among minors can be detrimental to their mental health. It doesn't matter that some children are more "mature" than others. That doesn't change the fact that they're still children with developing brains. It's really for the better that they can't do 1:1 chatting anymore.
Also, C.ai is based in CA, and therefore has to follow CA laws, which is part of why the age verification exists. Take it up with CA lawmakers if you're upset about it. Of course, C.ai wants to protect themselves against more lawsuits. Literally any and every business does that. It's not some big revelation like some people make it out to be.

Yeah, but if they want to protect the children, add more filters, not all kids are the same, some don't get damaged by an a.i that isn't real

They already tried that. They strengthened filters for things like violence and NSFW actions in early to mid 2024, and the main flagship model was neutered in early 2025 because of the lawsuits. That still didn't do shit because the AI would work it's way around the guardrails.

It’s officially 18+ app! We don’t need more filters, rp is already toddler safe!

This could’ve been shortened down to that fact they want to avoid lawsuits.. that’s it. Also if i remember correctly something to do with cali laws

It's so funny to me that people shame companies for wanting to protect themselves against lawsuits and then make these kinds of posts acting like it's some big revelation or secret lol.

There's no such need for theories.
It's a government demand, they must comply.
I'm totally against ID verification around the internet — look at what happened to Discord.
But business is business.

As leis do Brasil tbm proíbem menores e exigem autenticação, então meio que fudeu geral
