The difficulty you might end up with there is governments not permitting their age verification system for certain sites if they desired. Meaning even greater governmental control of what sites you can access.

Well then the site uses a different system that complies with regulations. I don't see this as a problem, it doesn't have to be the only service that can verify your age.

Which is essentially where we are now. Multiple services providing age verification on a per-site basis.

Yeah, but I'd rather have the option of a government one than yet another rando company with my sensitive data :)
