Like I've said before i don't necessarily think it's bad that they're raising the minimum age for these sites, but since when does that mean they have to check ids? There's been a minimum age of 13 for decades and that never meant you had to upload your id

That's because the sites put that there to claim they had a rule or whatever. If this new limit is being enforced on them with the intention that it is actually effective, there clearly has to be some way of checking it or kids will just click through - I remember that being parodied in the South Park movie, which must be 25-30 years old now.
