This is bizarre. Why would they force people under 18 to verify their birth date, but if you’re over 18 you can just enter your birth date with no verification?
Usually you only care about verifying the age of people over 18. What’s this law trying to accomplish by only verifying children?
Except as written, it’s only a path to knowing who all children are, not the adults who are usually the ones advocating for taxing billionaires. Sure, they might change the law, but that doesn’t make starting it this way any less bizarre. I don’t understand what reason there would be to make it harder to make a child account than an adult account by only IDing children.

Every middle aged person was once a younger person. It could stop at children, but I don’t think that’s their plan.
🫢you could order a beer without consent of parents if you are 18
