But it IS different. If you compare to alcohol for example, age checks are performed in shops. No record of those is made or available to anyone. There is no centralized infrastructure related to age checks that could be abused in the future to track everyone who buys alhocol.

    Yeah but if you think about to, from a law perspective that's an implementation detail. Sure, from our perspective it's a really important one, but from the perspective of a lawmaker it's about whether it should be done, not how it'll be done in execution (different branches of state, basically).
