A lot of companies love this idea, because it also tied their users 1:1 to real people's identities for the sake of serving ads. Ad space on a site where everyone is ID checked is a lot more valuable. @index https://this.weekinsecurity.com/papers-please-age-verification-laws-threaten-everyones-online-security-and-privacy/

I'll be honest, I think advertising is just a huge tax avoidance scheme. So little is known to be effective, so much is spent trying to improve it's small amount of efficacy, it seems like it costs a lot for miniscule return. But you don't pay taxes on that money, and perhaps even to your shareholders you look like you are doing something with that money.
