Why not a "Content Notice" style interstitial screen asking anon users to legally confirm they are over 13? (Or to agree to the Terms of Use as a whole, as during the signup process.)

Would this not be as good as people confirming their age during the signup process?

It may be slightly annoying, but it would be less annoying that not being able to edit at anonymously at all, and make it slightly easier for over-13 anon users to edit.

Due to the changes to the law, will you be purging the history of IP addresses if you find out they are used by people under 13? (For instance, if someone begins editing next month, and then 2 months from now publicly posts that they are 12 years old.)

edit: removed edit, since the next person asked the same question.
