I get annoyed when folks say that technical solutions to age verification are fine and somehow I don't understand the technical implementation. Which has already been found to have holes.
I do understand.
Technologists who believe in Free Software should not be encouraging this. You will get a block.
Age verification to access the internet is breaking Freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.
We should not be making the mechanisms of surveillance easier by normalising the process.
