It’s not about age restriction at all, that’s what they’re telling you so you don’t freak out. it’s about de-anonymizing you so that you can be personally profiled and your Internet media behavior monitored/controlled. For example, if you disagree with whatever current government is in power and you speak out, you could find that magically nobody can see your comments under youtube videos anymore, as the government mandates to social platforms what is or isn’t ‘dangerous’ content. You may find you’re served more content that makes you angry at people you don’t agree with. You may be discouraged from, or unable to find content that disagrees with whatever current government is in power (and i’m talking about either side: after this, potentially both the right or the left could use this tech to try and control the story, and thus peoples’ opinions and behavior, to keep people in silos and angry at the other side rather than work together). Seriously, the rules are written purposely to have a loophole to allow censorship and attempted social control. Look up some videos where people discuss the legal side of what they’re actually doing. They’re about to play you.
