Why privatise though? Or if you do privatise, pass legislation to make data trading illegal unless you pay the person whose data is bring traded or make it outright illegal. Or figure out a way to make the data completely useless. Perhaps banning advertising and marketing or limiting what they can do. So many possibilities for a better future than this.

Ah, my bad, my brain erroneously conflated paying people with private companies. Thanks for catching me on that. I am fine with it being done in the public center as long as there isn't a more anonymous way of age verification. There may be a public private key cryptography thing we could use instead. I don't know if this has been explored yet.
