    Age check happens via trustest entity (your government)

    Bold of you to assume a government entity is trusted. In the UK we have a large misrepresentative error due to our voting system.

      Depends in what part you trust. I trust them with my ID, I wouldn’t trust a random website. They know it anyway as they made it.
