This specifically doesn't ID anybody. It's not using the upcoming digital ID, it's just going to use the existing age authentication - eg, you just need to show your company is doing some sort of "serious" age verification (not just enter your DOB here) rather than actually checking identity.

It's bad, shallow populism, but it's not some nefarious surveillance plan, as much as the yanks are going to paint it that way.
