Using a credit card or an ID are both just using a physical item to ‘verify’ an age of someone who may or may not be that person. Getting a credit card has a minimum age, so the end goal of age ‘verification’ is met either way although the ID has way more personally identifiable information like skin color, actual birth date, gender, etc.
It isn’t like scanning an ID verifies that the person scanning the ID is the person on the computer.
The point of scanning the ID is (supposedly) to verify the age of the user, not their parents.

Not true, anyone can become a “verified user” on another’s account. That’s what my parents did when I was a kid.
You are a verified user for their account. That is literally using their card with extra steps.
Also, there is frequently an age 13 requirement to be an authorized user which would count for everything except porn.
Right, which is different from the user’s account, and thus does not verify their age.
Discord doesn’t have a 13 age group. It’s just adults and children.
