Bill Text (2025-05-27) Relating to the regulation of platforms for the sale and distribution of software applications for mobile devices. [Effective on 1/1/26]
If you mean porn sites or reddit or whatever demanding an ID because of porn content those companies have no way of verifying who you are or your real IP, all they know is where your connection request is coming from, what that IP is and maybe things like your timezone. That’s all. They aren’t in a position to really verify off anything but IP address.
Google and Apple on their phones especially (not so much Macs and Chromebooks or Ipads) have multiple good ways of strongly determining with high reliability exactly where you are because of cellular networks, because of GPS and aGPS, because they have your billing info, etc.
