Ah right, I hadn't considered the carrier, that might make more sense. Though I haven't noticed issues with MMS.
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of proprietary crap going on between Google/Apple and carriers. Maybe instead of dangerous age verification logs, our law makers could focus on untangling these messes into extensions of existing standards. Maybe throw a few new ones in, like for casting to car screens.
