There is some. Bars won't serve minors. The standardisation of parental controls law (the CA/CO one) is much closer to "bars won't serve minors" than it is to "camera drones will follow minors around to make sure they don't drink alcohol"

> Bars won't serve minors.

Bars also won't display a copy of your ID on the main street like digital "think of the children" initiatives are likely to.

If you get caught with a fake ID they sure as heck do. Had many a friend in college with a copy of their ID on the wall of shame.
You're missing the analogy.

The virtual bars will keep copies of the ids, fake or not, and "accidentally" post a random percentage of them, fake or not, in the main square.

Or sell 100% of them to data warehouses to make an extra buck.

Neither does the California/Colorado parental controls API law.
