@quinn My best guess is the "age verification" framing is pushed by social media companies who want regulation without wanting regulation.
Why decouple themselves from their profitable business model when they could just kick the (unprofitable) kids off their platform and get detailed information on the (profitable) adults who stay?

@brib the kids are considered extremely profitable, susceptible to addiction and advertising.
