or if you're going to ask them their age just display age appropriate content. Automatic categorizing of even user generated stuff should be a pretty much solved problem by now
What is "age appropriate" changes by the year, and is not universally agreed upon by everyone. I'm not sure that is a problem that will ever actually be solved.
As for categorizing content in general, I think it's pretty safe to look at Facebook and Twitter for examples of content moderation failing in spectacular ways, just as it is by all of the horror stories of Google accounts being automatically locked for utterly unclear reasons because some automated system picked up some cue and erroneously banned the account.

Maybe some other platform does this right, but I'm skeptic. I've watched some TikTok with my niece and some things were way over her age.
Maybe I'm getting old, but at least on TV there was a timeslot marked as suitable for all audiences, enforced by some agency in each country.
