This is one of the times where law is outrunning technology. Apple and Google are both working on anonymous attestation but they're pulling the trigger before it's ready.

But that's not what laws like these are about. In the US at least these laws are driven by Christian Nationalists are setting up a situation where PII of porn users is able to be leaked. That's what they're counting on. They also want to have political control of platforms by continually holding a Sword of Damocles above any publisher's head.

I don't particularly want to be required to have an Apple or Google device (and to accept their EULAs) to use social media either! If we're going to do age verification (and if we must, doing it in a privacy-preserving way would be best), can't we make it an open standard?
