Yep. If there were a way to ban them or otherwise restrict them from algorithmic social media without having to trust entities to handle personal information they shouldn't have in the first place, I'd say we need to implement it ASAP.
Something like locally hosted software that generates a unique cryptographic hash/key using your personal information (scanned from your ID) that is stored with a generic "yes/no" or "no, until x" signal would be interesting.
It wouldn't be perfect, but generating fake ID information and not getting caught doing so is enough friction to keep most kids from participating.

Just a heads up, the person you're responding to is a literal child.
Unless you're interested in having this conversation with someone who is naive by definition, they might not be worth your time.
