The UK: We just age gated all content that we decide could be harmful to children, resulting in mass surveillance, scams, and dodgy VPNs.
Australia: Hold my Beer, mate.

You joke, but the “could” there is loadbaring, because it could mean literally anything. The people who decide this are the website or the government, and the government isn’t telling us what “could” means.
In short, anything the government wants age gated can the age gated and websites are over-age gating to cover their arses just in case.
