It would also require that social media sites use "reasonable age verification methods" to verify users' ages.

Please no :/

This is where the challenge will be I think. Xitter wants a copy of my ID to validate who I am and what age? No thanks. There's no reason to allow that. No reason they need that. No reason to give them or any social media site the ability to stock pile that info to later be leaked.
