The law in EU specifically says that age verification needs to minimize the amount of information collected and GDPR still applies to this data. If implemented correctly the service will only verify your date of birth. Besides, most Facebook users share way more already. Facebook already knows everyone’s education, finances, relationship status and has 1000 fotos of their face. The idea that sharing your ID number with them changes anything is silly.
I think if people knew a lot more about how children are exploited online they would understand more. It does seem extreme, but also it’s scary what happens.
I’m of two minds on this. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
