Yeah it's just a few bridges too far for me. I don't care about improving those things (and UX will only get worse with extra checks)

I'm sure it will come but I will oppose and work around it as much as I can. I don't think age verification should exist at all.

Well, you can always create a trust bubble with your friends where it’s unnecessary. Content of private communications is unregulated. Anything serving broader audience needs checks.
