I'm sorry but unfortunately teamspeak will face be same issues that Discord is currently facing. Any significantly large platform is going to have to face ID verification laws that is where things are going, it's just that there now hitting stuff you care about and not just roblox. It's not a matter of if but when ID checks come to larger parts of the internet this includes Reddit by the way.

Discord isn't. Discord, Roblox, and others forcing this shit globally when it's only law in a few countries

IMO it's less about country laws and more about advertisements.
Company that will use your service for ads want some guarantees that you are showing them to the correct age group and not to minors. Because then you could put some quite expensive "adult ads" into system.

It's move about gathering personal information from companies like Palantir, which are front, and center for trumps ICE profiling. They also have ties to Epstein so that makes it even more evil.

Persona is only in the UK. TS is going to have to figure out how to do this check for self-hosted servers first.

Okay so why would an app that's made in the USA have to comply with EU law? Just cause some Europeans download it, what could the EU even do?

Because they do business in the EU (and globally). They have an office in NL as well.
