As A Developer I Am Unavailable To Chat With My Friends <18 Unless They Are Trusted,
I Understand Why you May Not Want A 9 Year Old To Talk To 22 Year Olds. But A Parent Of A <13 can only enable this with parental permission, Or… A 13+ User could enable a setting to be able to talk to anyone verified as your age and above only if your friends (connections) with them, this Setting Could Even Allow A Childs Or 13+ Users Friends to Chat With Them Regardless Of Age Group, For Example: you are a high schooler but your friends a elementary school but <9 they can enable the setting to keep chatting with their connections,
This Topic Is Inspired by Make chatting with age groups older than 18 a setting for for teenagers
