COPPA only applies to sites that are directed towards children or have "actual knowledge" that they're collecting data from children. It's legally sufficient to ask for birthdays and refuse signups from anyone under 13.

Can companies do the same here?

“Are you in the EU? Y/N”

When you learn that someone lied and they are under 13yo, the rule applies again.

I'm not aware of any rule or case which supports this claim.

It doesn't have to be a specific rule. You learn that the age declaration was invalid so the "§312.10 Data retention and deletion requirements" applies unless you have a verifiable parent consent.

Not many companies are going out of their way to learn that their users are lying about their age.
