The age is 13 for coppa and they are required to get their parents permission already. Also are people in other countries supposed to have a US ID now? If it isn't saved, couldn't you just copy your parent's ID while they aren't looking? This doesn't solve anything.

There is not really any check or balance preventing them from lying about their age to make an account. So no. They aren't being required to get their parents permission already. That's the point. COPPA is a toothless set of laws that doesn't enact consequences for parents or companies unless a person or entity with money intervenes.
