UK Age Verification is making people vulnerable

fuzzyfaceSo, I've had a thought and I'd like anyone who actually knows about this sort of thing to tell me if this idea has legs or not.
At some point I'm guessing that I'm going to have to identify myself to my laptop as an adult.
The way I see it is that this does not mean that I have to identify myself as a specific adult, just that I am an adult.
There is no way that I'm giving some random self assigned verification company anything important.
So, my thought is that is there anything that I could, for example, stick on my skin that can approximate my age? I'm sure that there are all sorts of biometric measurements it could use to give a fairly good approximation.
All of the issues like connectivity and security I'm sure could be addressed if the principle is good.
Thoughts?

Mike McCaffreyHad a dream that #SouthPark was lampooning the #UKAgeVerification, where the town passed a similar law, and Cartman was stealing people's IDs in order to get online, and then those people were being arrested for his inappropriate searches until all the adults in town were in jail.

Signed up to a Lemmy server while I had my VPN on, only to find that when I went to use the site on my phone (with VPN turned off) I was blocked, because I live in the UK. 🤬
This bullshit is going to create a 2-tier internet; the VPN haves, and the have-nots (until VPNs get blocked too).
You want to protect children? Teach them and their guardians how to be safe online, don't go scorched earth policy!
