"Policymakers around the world are advancing age assurance proposals to protect children and teens online." Noone is doing this in order to "protect children"
AFAICT they're basically saying "hey lawmakers we're not going to rock the boat or take a stand so in exchange pretty please don't lump us into the app store category"
Maybe age assurance should be in the display. The display's camera has to verify the age of the viewer to display adult content.
That might be simpler. Estimating age with a camera is already common in China. Cameras are cheap, and displays now probably have enough processing power to do it locally.

Will work for TVs, too.
