On the credit card point though, cards don't work perfectly as age verification either. Plenty of minors can access prepaid cards or family cards | ||

>cards don't work perfectly as age verification either. there are 0 "perfect" age verification systems. plenty of minors can have their brother/sister/parents supply their id, or do the verification video. the on-device verification discord rolled out was, within hours, broken. i remember news reports of kids submitting photos of their dogs and being verified as of-age. credit card solves most of the problem with much less downside than submitting my face (i am already okay putting my card info into most sites) | ||

Prepaid cards can't masquerade as credit cards as there are easy ways to differentiate them (the numbers have meaning) and a minor getting access to the family credit card is the parents giving them permission. I'm not convinced credit card for age verification is a good solution for all cases but for cases where you've already used a credit card to access the service it would be perfect. | ||
