ID checks, driven by prudishness, are an absolute gift to the big social media companies. They're the only entities whom (a) already know the check's answers, and (b) have the resources to keep hackers largely at bay.
I am not surprised these laws are landing with such little resistence.
Its as if the big social media companies lobbied for extra redtape, eh?
Large companies love regulation and red tape because it usually kills smaller competitors.
Surprisingly they've generally lobbied against it for ideological reasons despite their economic incentives.
brer rabbit and the briar patch.
