"digital sovereignty", no, no, you're being weirdly abstract.
Power, today, consists of being able to exert control and take large profits by charging people to live through control of fossil carbon. (Society exists to make you buy gas. It's good at it. The people selling gas make a killing.)
"Age verification" is recognition that they have to stop selling you carbon, so they're going to pivot to controlling if you can have an economic existence.
They're going to rent you being able to live.
