How could/would/should the Fediverse do age verification if required in the EU? (lemmy.world)

The question is prompted by the age verification app that the EU has just presented.

Some EU countries want to ban social media for young people. If that were to happen, what then?

No offence to those that run various instances but the LAST thing I would want is for any of them to deal with this stuff on their own servers. that's just a massive can of worms I would assume even they wouldn't want to open.
