A credit card, or some money related government ID is what should be used for checking. If you make a separate ID for this, or use something "not risky to hand out", you'll just be creating a business opportunity for adults selling "verification services" using their government ID, for other (potentially) kids to make use of.
If you verify using say, bank credentials, though, then those adults can't do the same since they risk losing money. Minimum balance checks are also necessary so it's not a "nothing to lose" situation.
Important to set incentives right when doing bans like this. Historically, it's been implemented very badly wherever it's been tried.
Of course an outright ban is also not a problem IMO, but many differ on that.

- diggan 1y ago> The website and the payment processor know exactly who you are and what you are doing As far as I understand, the implementation would let the porn website verify you're above 18, and the payment processor would only know that you interacted with a age verification service to verify your age, but not specifically what website is asking you to verify your age. That would seem good enough in terms of privacy, unless I'm missing something?
