    I wouldn’t really call it age verification, more like an optional field you can put in a date if you want

      That’s just the first step before they require you to upload your id. Don’t let in the trojan horse.

        I’d argue the opposite. If we want to restrict access of kids under 14 to social media for example, then the parents should just be able to tell the device/browser, that they should inform the websites that the user is under 14. not the exact birthday, not even the year, just <14, <16, maybe <18, so that the website can adjust accordingly. That would be way less invasive then having everyone show their ID on account creation.
