Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

If John Doe views way too much porn, then you expect the site to shut him down? They have no ability to track other site usage. The authorities have to block him after the 10,000th download.
At that point, why does the site need to know? Either the government blocks someone’s ID or they don’t

Can’t look at it in such a black or white manner. The possibilities are presumably less, and surely not that obvious.

You’re not solving any issue by losing privacy. The site itself “knowing” you’re John Doe can’t tell if that’s correct or not. Only the government can verify that, so why give the info to the site?
