      I mean, great? Most mainstream devices do however, whether it’s an AppleID, Google account or Microsoft account.

        Wow now the site knows my google account, way better than sending a picture of myself.

        It’s not a requirement on Android. Like at all. My Windows 10 also isn’t signed into Microsoft Account.

          There absolutely is a minimum age requirement to set up a Google account, which you can see from their Ts & Cs. Whether that is enforced is an entirely different question.

              No you don’t, but like I say, I’m talking about the majority of users.

              Again though, and I’m copying this from a previous response, I think it’s worth remembering that this is a suggestion, and not even originally mine. If you’re happier to use the current multitude of age verification services that differ on a per-site basis, with all the security vulnerabilities, risk, and inconvenience that entails, then feel free. Or bypass them using the methods suggested.

              I’m literally just providing a better technical solution than has been implemented. What I’m not suggesting is “this is the answer to everyone’s problem”.
