There's so many reasons trying to force companies to implement age verification is a bad idea, and "to protect the children" is a nonsense excuse. That said, it's kinda scary if a government can't regulate business behaviour when interacting with their citizens (who are inside the country).

They CAN regulate the company, if the people want it.

They clearly didn't

The alternative, where a government can restrict the actions of companies in other jurisdictions is more scary.

Yet it’s constantly done, like sure online gambling and marketing of drugs etc

Why is that scary, it’s done all the time.

It’s probably a good idea not to have corporations just run rampant and do what they want

We agree, I said "if they can't".
