A curfew must attribute every access event to a verified individual at a specific time. That means the verified-age token has to stay bound to the live session.
So every HTTP request needs to be authenticated and potentially logged against a robust digital identity.
Age verification is essentially identity verification, and in practice takes two forms: matching against government-issued ID, or facial age estimation.
Starmer is announcing enforced Digital ID for everyone here. Otherwise you can't even begin to do this stuff.
Kids route around gates with VPNs, so "effective" enforcement requires age-gating VPNs too
Each piece is justified individually: but together forms something far more sinister and once that infrastructure exists it's there forever, waiting to be repurposed by fascism
Account-level enforcement fails on shared devices, so robust enforcement pushes downward to the operating system

If they’re not going to punish children for getting round a ban, this would require mass surveillance of all communications, tied to each person, to even feasibly implement. So it’s mass surveillance couched in ‘protect the children’
