The problem is that now all people need to do to establish they are of a certain age is to click on a button.

There is no barrier to people wanting to set up a fake account. There need to be at least some soft measures. This would remove an element of what we see. I agree that it would not be absolute.

Regarding the cross-jurisdictional approach, are the witnesses aware of anything in the European context that involves trying to restrict what we are seeing or is it still siloed within nation states?
