If they got into the bar on a fake ID, it's probably going to pass your cursory drunken inspection. But it's a weak metaphor, I guess, since Twitch has no actual controls beyond "do you super duper promise you're allowed to buy our pornography we're peddling to you, errr, sorry, I mean hot tub ASMR streamers?"
Yeah bars have guys whose job is to not only ask for the ID but have a discerning eye on the person physically handing it to them to verify. Something an internet process doesn't have available short of a "get on webcam to prove its you" which we can all agree is both invasive and likely to lead to bad places.
Exactly. Which means any "online verification" is pretty much worthless and anyone being reasonable wouldn't trust it.
Maybe legally its binding for Twitch's protection, but the good Dr. and anyone else shouldn't rest on it to not ask their own verification. Which if its getting flirty it is far less wrong to ask to see them on cam.

I think "send me pics of yourself via WebCam" is already in "you're fucked if you're wrong, m8" territory.
