Age verification is age discrimination.

Some can be 50 and still be clueless who to trust and what to do.

Every kind of discrimination merely shifts the burden.

And thinking of the children as an excuse for draconian law is itself child abuse. It's using children as a shield to take cover.

EDIT: I'd like to add that if age verification becomes a thing, we should also have an online drug test, insurance verification, financial wellbeing tests, mental health checks and a badge of dishonor for anyone who fails to comply.
