There is no way to prove definitively that the person using the credential is the same person using the Internet. Hell there's barely enough of a way to prove that there is a human sitting behind your device.
This is why age/identify verification is pointless.
It's not a guarantee, but generally, digital ID systems live on the phone of one person only and require a screen lock to use. You're right though, that there is nothing preventing someone else from borrowing another's identity.
It was really hard for me not to claim I'm a minor on Lemmy NSFW, I knew I should not do it, after getting naked on there, would cause TOO MUCH chaos.
If by chaos, you mena illegal, then yes.
