      I think is is related to the new age verification systems. Everyone was saying this is a bad idea but governments are basically making it required for some of these services.

        The boner is for something else, since they can’t stop talking about the “children”.

      The UK - along with several US states - is enforcing a bunch of age verification bullshit to “protect the children.” Not that the tech companies have pushed back on this in the slightest; they love that it let’s them collect more data on users. But they couldn’t get away with it if it wasn’t a legal requirement.
