Right, I’m imagining it as a service set up to be used if wanted/needed with no broad mandate. There are people running NSFW sites and channels that genuinely do not want minors interacting or accessing, and many would integrate this type of verification voluntarily if there was trust that it worked correctly and did not collect and distribute data about individuals. But I agree, that’s not what is on offer. So far from the UK it seems like they are letting private businesses figure it out.

Right, I understand the idea, it’s just very common that any capability that is created will be misused.
