Is it possible to just not use age verified services? I personally barely have any online accounts, especially on corporate services. I dont think it will be a big loss to me if they would ask for verification.

Depends how hard your area pushes for it. Some places are calling for OS to verify age. You could probably opensource your way around that, at least until you need a digital ID to access the internet legally.
