It's a bad law and no country should have it. I'm against age verification as well, since it's a step toward forced identification. My area passed age verification, which means I need to set up my network with a VPN so my family is safe from corporations (and thus government) from having even more information about us.

Anonymity is critical for a free society. And yeah, freedom has its own costs, such as hate crime, which I'm well aware of since my SO and therefore kids are minorities. But freedom to publicly criticize your government would be significantly curtailed without anonymity.
