This is just going to end one of two ways:
Probably both.
So I'm going with no. I'm a responsible parent and I'm preventing my kids from accessing social media and teaching them how to find reliable information. As they earn my trust with other services, I'll slowly remove restrictions. If I think my kids are ready for SM, I'll let them have access, using a VPN to avoid state restrictions as needed.
For scenario one, they totally need to delete the data used for age verification after they collect it according to the law (unless another law says they have to keep it) and you can trust every company to follow the law.
For scenario two, that's where the age verification requirements of the law come in.
You've never heard of kids getting fake IDs?
This law doesn't stipulate how services prove age (at least according to the article), and if kids want something, they'll find a way to get it.
