    Honestly i would go a step back and a step further. Advertising to children is still profitable at least outside the eu and age checks generate friction in using the platforms witch would probably lead to them losing some casual users. I think the reason they and the governments want the IDs is control. They now with 98% certainty who you are. Data brokers, “law enforcement”, advertisers can follow you all over the internet and cross reference you. I know that’s already been done but you only have certainty in maybe 50% percent or so idk. A international place where people are somewhat private is a great win for democracy if used right.
