Yeah, agreed that every government that makes decisions like this (I think porn restrictions and UK age verification has come up) should be offering a government API to tie into. Governments need to have this data to function and have the resources to handle this (but not a great track record).
I just don’t think essentially making the argument “there are all these problems but that’s the way it’s always been” gets us to a better future. And I think most improvements are iterative and need to start somewhere. I’m also not expecting this to be a slam dunk but I do think some countries need to try this and other tech company restrictions to find out what will make a better future.
