The DSA actually. Art. 35(1)(j) mandates VLOPs which identify systemic risks for minors on their platforms to take “targeted measures to protect the rights of the child, including age verification and parental control tools”, in addition to Art. 28 child protection measures

I didn't know that. This was really slipped in there.The language in art 34 & 35 is very vague to when this will be warranted. Are we going to see KYC on all platforms? That would suck.
