NSFW text channels

I feel the NSFW warning should be updated because anyone who's 13-17 years old can just lie on the client by clicking Yes on the warning prompt. Server owners/admins/moderators would be pressured into verifying each person who's able to view the NSFW text channels by requesting a valid form of photo ID which includes a date of birth (i.e. today's date 2002 or earlier) and then manually remove those who have been caught lying about their age as in being born on today's date 2003 or later. If the client had an improved NSFW warning system, it'd automatically request ID for first time appearances on the NSFW marked text channels under these conditions..

The ID must be officially issued by the local department of motor vehicles (DMV)
The ID must have a date of birth indicating they're at least 18 years old (today's date 2002 or earlier for example)
The NSFW role (if already added by the server owner, admin, mod, etc.) would be integrated as in being given to those who are truly 18 years old or older & removed from members younger then 18.

The automatic system would have to understand various kinds of IDs, mostly depending on the nation of the client, but also accomodating for the possibility of adults who do not have a drivers license.

More importantly, it would probably also be very easy to fool. The system would have no (reliable) way of comparing the licensed person to the actual client.

I'm not uploading my ID online to a random company (Sorry discord, I love you, but you're still not an official government site so you're random). Discord can get hacked and external sites can obtain my ID and use this for identity theft. The risk is far too great (It's still a risk on official government sites, but they have more protection than discord, and they accept in person ID which discord can not provide).
