Having just seen Bluesky is rolling out age verification I have to wonder how many other sites are going to do the same? This feels like a massive privacy intrusion and more than a little concerning given all these companies will have your identifying info. What happens when they are breached?

Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard.

I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.
