it’s identity verification
Yep, totally. End of anonymous use of the internet is the wet dream of some (primarily conservative) politicians.

(The) argument that (children can’t buy internet) (…) is also bullshit
You can’t just say it’s bullshit and not provide a counter argument. Are you insinuating that children will use their parent’s internet? Fine, but how does that change for VPNs? They can’t buy a VPN subscription either, so they would have to use their parent’s VPN accounts, and then the age verification has been bypassed anyway.
