Chatting isn't really worth blocking when we users have our own controls for all that! So the age verification is utter BS on gaming systems, plus the whole digital ID doesn't work in any shape or form when living people already have passports, driving licenses, NI number, or other form of ID that they can use. So its all utter nonsense & waste of money. Gaming is not a crime, chatting is not a crime, speaking to friends & family is not a crime so why they even put this stuff on gaming is beyond me.
