Anyone under 18-years-old cannot enter into a legally binding contract, so ISPs don't sell services to them. The adults providing internet access to minors are responsible for keeping them from accessing sites inappropriate for minors, and there's plenty of tools available to do so.

There's a good thread that's aligned to this going on right now about an open source voting system [0].
While there's benefit in the political sphere in tracking user identities and the underlying results, wouldn't the question here be: Is there any benefit in validating users' identities?
