Non-technical people need to be lectured about properly addressing this issue before the age verification scourge gobbles up all the worldโ€™s jurisdictions as 60% of Americans have the false belief that โ€œage verification is the only way to protect children from social media platforms.โ€ according to PewResearch.

Age verification is really just about identity verification. "Show us your papers" version of the internet.
