From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What Useragent do AI Bots send?
I'm pretty sure they can filter out the bot traffic. Like, if they know how old you are, they probably know if you're a bot.
By the way, how can a site know your age through mere non logged in access?
You don't have to be logged in because you've got a digital fingerprint.
I would hazard a guess that they're using google analytics to collect this data, and google is creepy and knows everything. Maybe they got you to tell them your age at some point, or they can use the vast amount of other data they have to estimate it with probably-super-creepy accuracy.
