I am not sure how that is relevant, rather than nitpicking.
In the EU, there is no concept of EU ID, each country is responsible for their own.
Still, there is a governing entity that is responsible for your ID and controls it. Unless a US state is not a "governing entity"? Though the head of a US state is called a "governor", right?
I think the relevance is that there can be no requirement by the US federal government for states to support any particular technology, which makes age verification continue to be a state-specific unregulated free-for-all.
Even the REAL ID Act only mandated requirements for a license when used to enter government owned or regulated property, and states can still choose not to abide by it.
Yes but that is irrelevant to the discussion here. It doesn't matter if the federal government runs the age verification or if each government does it. The point remains: that "governing entity" already knows your identity, so by running an age verification service they do not learn your identity.
