"Age gating" of History has gone on longer than The Internet. My middle school US history class ca. 1975 totally ignored the reality of antebellum chattel slavery. I didn't hear about the sexual abuse side of it until maybe 2005. I don't think that's in the middle/high school curriculum today.

Well reasoned! A car accident is something that just happened. It's not manufactured gore, but a fresh part of history, so take the sheets off the dismembered bodies and let my five-year-old see everything!

Use parental controls on your child's device if you don't want them seeing things. Don't use your bad parenting as an excuse to violate privacy with age verification for everyone else.
