Capitalists NEED the state to enforce their will.
The relentless pursuit of profit and growth ruins absolutely everything it touches. Capitalist rot.
The factor driving age verification has been laws passed by countries. It's not private industry forcing it, but government.

you could pass a constitutional law against any form of age validation (“ageism has no place in our country”)
you are conflating things. age validation does not equal ageism. age validation does not solve age restriction because a validated user account can be handed over to a kid, or taken over by them in secret. the parents that can’t be assed to take care of their children won’t keep their smartphone safe either, because that’s inconvenient and takes time and attention

The fusion of capitalist and state power behind a racially supremacist ideology is the core of fascism. Communism is not the only alternative to fascism or capitalism
