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.


The identifying site doesn’t need to record IP or other identifying information. It just needs to answer “yes” or “no” when queried about the current user. It could use a similar handoff mechanism to oauth.
The cost of a hack turns into getting a list of people in the region, rather than people who use a given service. Arguably, that’s less problematic.
