They wouldn't restrict access to information based on your perceived age, would they?
I am guessing this is a rethorical question, but, they already forcibly flag videos as "made for kids" against the creators' will (and despite very clear audience statistics proving it's not).
So yeah, they are totally using their magic 8-ball to restrict your content.
They were sometimes restricting videos for swearing or mentioning mature topics while being "made for kids" even though the videos were clearly not for kids.
