      I imagine they will have conservative activists use VPNs to access these websites, and then pass that information onto law enforcement, who will then use that to try and bankrupt said websites and services.

      They’re not intending to prove anything. The goal is to put the burden of risk on websites, to force them to just block VPNs completely. Even if it’s unlikely that a VPN user will get unmasked as being underage, the risk of being liable if it does happen will (in theory) be too great for them to ignore.
