    Identification would need to be handled by a 3rd party to even remotely work. Then they pass on the “yes they’re over 16” tick to the social media platform, with no actual identity details.

    Edit: and likewise, Identity company have no details about the social media account name or anything. Just a token transfer of sorts.
