Plugging the draft guidance into chatgpt:

  Age Assurance Methods:

  Effective methods: Open banking, photo-ID matching, facial age estimation, credit card checks, and digital identity wallets.

  Ineffective methods: Self-declaration, general disclaimers, or payment methods without age restrictions.
So basically, ID verification will be required for any platform that may have adult/harmful materials.

It's not in the law... it's the guidance Ofcom is providing, linked in TFA, which I believe will be enforceable.
