I mean, for the most part yes. I’m not even so much concerned about my kids viewing porn, more so than somebody else will make nasty deepfakes of them and post online etc, so age verification won’t fix that.
I could see it help with discriminating between people at their “own damn computers” and bots or misinformation/psyops campaigns run out of certain foreign countries though (assuming any ID also ties back to parent country).

It won’t unless they can prevent people from stealing IDs. Which they can’t.
we already have laws for all those issues you mentioned but there is no profit in the way they are currently enforced. this bill will create massive profit opportunities and kill off a ton of the little guys; for fb etc it’s competition squishing essentially.

Mate, they can’t even stop scammers faking a caller ID. This will do absolutely nothing against bad faith actors.
I think it’s less a matter of “can’t” and more a matter of “can’t … be added to bother putting in a significant effort/investment”
So why do you think this will be any different?
