Is this based on a gov ID? I didn't see that in the article.

How else do you think they'd do age verification? It's the same way they do it for porn sites, you upload you DL/passport/ID to verify your age. The difference here is that now these ~~data broker~~ social media companies now have a hard link to your identity instead of a pretty strong inference, and are able to shore up their advertising profiles in an unprecedented way.

Yep, that's how they do it in Korea and China too
