I will never upload my fave scan or ID to any website verification. You do not need my personal biometrics nor my legal government ID. I should not have to sacrifice my online privacy for the government to do the parent's jobs of raising their kids. We have all grown up in a world with the internet, between router settings, parent blocks on phones and browsers, and individual phone settings with ISPs there are indeed ways to monitor and control your childrens' online traffic. I do not welcome legislation or policy coercing me into sacrificing that, and at no point has "protecting the children" ever been a good faith argument; they want control, and they want a direct line to your online web traffic to your person. See how the UK only had the OSA functioning for a week before police task forces started knocking onto people's doors for comments they made online. Even if you won't be arrested, your attitude and behavior will be controlled knowing you are being watched just like a school child on the playground.
Fault for lying about the age of the user and therefor the validity of the consent being moot should fall unto the user, which in this case would teickle up to the parent or guardian for a child, not the website. It is not the website's fault for your child lying.
Never give your ID to view something or buy something online. Aquiring alcohol or drugs is one thing, but not to look up relevant global news like war coverage, that is age gating as fuck. Do not give up what little privacy you have online for this shit. Let Youtube, Discord, and even Steam rot before subcoming to thwir insane demands. The governments and corporations move in lock step with the masses, if we push the tides one way then they have no choice but to respond instead of continuing to push the flow of civil liberties the way they want to.
