Everyone having to prove they're an adult just means the end of privacy on social media. Tracking everything you do online becomes extremely easy when your real ID is attached to your advertising IDs. And breaches become leaks of more significant data used in age verification.

I think we're going to get a strange three tiered internet, one where you have the mainstream social media platforms etc, one that is just AI SEO bot hell and one that is buried and only really used by enthusiasts. (For example, IRC isnt dead yet not by a long shot but its entirely technical people now using it).
