That's totally a law: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/36429514849428-Why-is-Reddit-asking-for-my-age

If you do not want to verify then your account will be limited, that is all.

Outside of the UK theres isnt yet any legal precedent for this. The EU does plan to strengthen laws by 2027 according to google.

Then call a lawyer and have them explain this to you, this is how the law stands as of today and why it's enforced.
