America needs to get over its fear of a national ID system already. A lot of its problems regarding citizenship, voting, sexual consent, medical records, criminal records, banking and gaming can be solved with a national ID system. Pair the ID with a phone number. To access R18 content, you have to type in the ID number and approve a 2FA on the phone. No need for facial recognition.
You're acting like any government, American or no, can handle the security aspects of a national database. Also, what's the point? Using an ID to play games, to watch porn? That shit is dumb, you can't nationalize or control the internet in any form, even with ID specifications. It's just not a realistic goal
