I have no idea about this, but as of now anyone can register.
For reference, CSAM is Belgium's government portal and a system of login, as far as I know, so I assume it would be used to check if someone is a minor at the time of registration
Child safety is important but implementing this would kind of defeat the purpose of a privacy focused app.
I agree that just gatekeeping children and therefore verifying everyone with a government platform, but then it raises the question on how to improve child safety on an app that's self-hostable with not even user IDs to identify the users?
