I would imagine they’ve at least talked about trying get people to enter credit card details. I know that’s been pushed before, as early as the 2000s, for age verification on some sites. Obviously it’s terrible for privacy, data breaches and flat-out fake sites just harvesting card numbers or taking all your cash at point of verification.

Not to mention that zillions of underage kids have their own legit cards nowadays.

Plus loads of adults don’t have a card. It’s not like when you turn 18 somebody from the government turns up and goes here’s a bank account.
This is why they keep going on about government ID cards. So they can track everyone reliably. Which is precisely why we shouldn’t do it.
