    Since when does a reddit account require me to submit ID proving I am indeed 18+? I literally see no difference in reliability between requiring an account where one claims to be 18+ and a banner where one has to claim to be 18+. In both scenario’s you are relying 100% on user input.

      I didn’t say they required you to supply id.

      Also the difference is in legislation, business certifications and responsibility.

      Like I also said, in the end these measures don’t matter but they will when a company wants to work with another that require all of its partners to hace specific certifications and whatnot.
