Is there any chance that most of these age verification systems get removed from major websites and repealed from law in the coming years?

Wait 5 sec.

Because if that does not happen then pretty much all trust in safety on the internet will be destroyed. I am most concerned about the huge companies not deleting the uploaded IDs or biometric data after initial processing (and instead selling the data or training models on it), the data breaches that could and already have occured, and all of the lobbying by Meta and OpenAI to get the real-life 1984 signed into law ASAP. If this continues, it will make the Patriot Act look tame by comparison, and destroy worldwide internet privacy forever.
