Abstract
A stated age filter is embedded in a computer-implemented application and is configured to limit users' access to features of the computer-implemented application based on the user's stated age. The stated age filter is constructed in the form of a software development kit (SDK) and may be used in the context of a messaging system that hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client, where the backend service is also the SDK provider system. The stated age filter permits a computer-implemented application to request and obtain, from a prospective user of the application, an authorization to communicate with the messaging system in order to verify whether the user's age, as self-reported to the messaging system, is equal to or greater than the minimum age requirement specified by the computer-implemented application.
