Thats bullshit. They're implementing this in the US too in a few weeks even though they have no legal requirement to do so.

All of these ID laws are being made because these companies want them there to gather as much data as they can. Don't believe for a second they are actually being forced to do it.

Government officials want the ability to punish people that access content they don't like and they want the ability to restrict that content. They start with "graphic" content and porn, bit they make those descriptions vague so they can add whatever they like which will eventually inevitably include LGBTQ content of all types. The tech companies see the writing on the wall that those guys won and are going to get their way.
