Interesting. I think most users would assume they're talking to other adults and might change their language or behavior if they thought they were conversing with children
Age is anything but arbitrary from a law perspective. With these laws there is no expectation of privacy in regards to age. I'd argue there never was, it was just poorly enforced and got normalized
