mkl Colorado is all for age restrictions but they make it clear they can't enforce it.

^^ this is good because it requires no Personally Identifiable Information from the minor--Colorado was worried about that if you read the first 2 pages of the bill. At the app store, just a 1990's-style "are you old enough to enter this porn site? Yes or No" is all they are requiring.
@mkl pointed out, in the fine print of the bill everybody (developers, distributors etc) is off the hook and not culpable for anything as I read it.
