> Google denying me access to YouTube videos asking me to verify my age by giving them either my passport or my credit card should be illegal as well.

Wasn't this added because of some EU law? It seems that YouTube's interpretation was that asking this is the opposite of illegal, actually legally required.

UK prawn laws? - proposed and then dropped?
