credit card matching the User's name/location?

I don't think that would go over well. When Google asked people to share a national ID or credit card in the EU (age verification is legally required to be compliant with the new "think of the children" regulations in the EU's Audiovisual Media Services Directive), people online freaked out.

(disclaimer, work for Google but not on this)

I encountered this on Youtube even though my account registration and VPN endpoint say I'm in the US. I ended up fixing it with a browser extension.
