Just got prompted to verify my age in order to watch a video and they want me to either use a credit card or my fucking id! Apparently this is only for EU/Switzerland/UK residents:

If youre in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland or United Kingdom
The Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) is an EU-wide coordination of national legislation on audiovisual media both traditional TV broadcasts and on-demand services. Recently, AVMSD was revised to extend certain rules to video sharing platforms (VSPs).
In line with AVMSD, you may be asked to re-verify your date of birth when watching age-restricted videos. Follow the prompts to submit an image of a valid ID or credit card. Learn more about what we do with your ID/credit card.
For more info on AVMSD, check out this website.

WTF is this shit?

You think the normal user will get access to the real identity of those who post rude comments on their videos?

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

Not had this show for me yet, in the UK.

I get the idea behind it, but am I really expected to trust such details to yet another site? What about when Youtube fucks up and puts a child's video as NSFW or a NSFL in youtube kids?

I wonder how long it will be until those nanny states make VPNs super illegal.

If anything, this explains why "lets play" videos are appearing on porn sites.

Eh, Google enjoys screwing the little guy. Which is why YouTube TV is off Roku devices.
