I am wondering what are some age verification alternatives that could be better a way instead of asking for ids or biometric verification? Any ideas? It is not really about the kids though but opposition needs an argument and they are quite dumb to come up with something and I am exhausted.
One idea I’ve seen floated was a certificate-based authentication. Providers that know your age by design, such as banks, could hand out certificates in bulk. That way, only those institutions would know that you have received certificates, but they can’t tell for what exactly. Source: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/114852402217569321
Given how financial institutions are behaving towards Free Speech online I really don’t want them to be trust anchors that are required to access anything, which is something that is completely unnecessary and we were just fine without 5 years ago. What changed?
A good idea but a more privacy preserving approach is preferable
