Do you expect the data collected for age verification will be completely separate from the advertising apparatus? I would expect the incentives would align for this to enhance their advertising options.

I'll almost certainly get used for both, but I believe "adult content" is the primary motivator. If it was just for ads they wouldn't even bother announcing it as a "feature", they'd just do it.

Its a feature for advertisers, and investors also wanna know. Did you think you are the customer?
"you can target ads by demographic" is table stakes
