How exactly does someone check that someone is above or below a certain age online?

If you don't want to allow < 13, you just need to make sure you ask and don't accept people who reply with < 13. It then becomes the kid's legal guardian responsibility to make sure the child doesn't use the service.

If you do want to accept it, you need to use IRL methods (phone call, credit card, etc).
