This feels like a non issue. “Age verification” is a big umbrella. Claiming that merely checking an entered birth date is the equivalent of uploading an ID is disingenuous and just fishing for clicks. Yes, there are tangible connections to other concerning privacy violations in this space… but come on. Steam asks you for your birth date before you watch an R18+ game trailer. I’ve been lying on that form for over twenty years, since before I was 18.

I think people are down voting you since they actually have not read the law themselves and don’t realize that the law itself says nothing about actually verifying that the age is correct. It is no more than what you said, like steam asking your birthdate before you look at certain games in the store.
