I would say that obviously “consider” has some strength, but the age verification methods are all different. From my reading, some of those won't apply. If you do age estimation, for example, you're not collecting personal data, so some of those rules will not apply. Depending on the age verification that will be put in place, you will use them or less.... I think that's why there was prudence in choosing “consider” instead of “must apply”.
