Others have said this, I'm sure, but this will move past porn _quickly_. Once there is agreed-up age verification for pornography, much of the professional internet will require identity verification to do _anything_. This is one of the bigger nails in the coffin for the free internet, and this true whether or not you're happy with all the pornography out there.

And honestly, with the advent of AI spam everywhere, I'd be quite happy to visit a version of the internet where everyone is a certified real person

You already have that with Cloudflare checking almost every single website on earth, as you can see, that doesn't work.

Clicking on pictures of motorcycles, while annoying, is a very different thing than having to show your ID.
