Luckily we have a digital id system that would preserve your privacy in Germany, so you'd not have to scan your face. All the social media site would get would be "is over 18".

I concede that you'd have to trust that the id systems real identity => per site pseudo id mapping is not disclosed to anyone.

Works with NFC and AusweisApp on reasonably modern phones.
