What the fuck is this?

Edit:

"YouTube announced today a new expansion to its age-verification requirements in Europe. The video-sharing service said some users in the region will need to confirm their age in the coming months before they are able to watch age-restricted content. These requirements include a valid ID or credit card indicating that the user is above the age of 18. "

Edit2: Gave my credit card details (they were connected to this account already anyway, making this pointless on top of being a slap in the face), STILL GOT a fucking "this content may be inappropriate for some users" popup. Really dreading when this shit starts popping up on my alt accounts

      I believe this was borne out of some new EU directive demanding more robust age verification because age gates do nothing (also works out for Google, though they pinky promise to delete the identifying information afterwards)

      I'm sure EU citizens will be delighted to send photos of their ID so they can see a goatseing Tony the Tiger on some furry porn website
