2 hours agoDo you know how the implementation proposed by EU works?
How would that be a better solution? It is more complicated, more expansive and I see no benefits with it, in comparision to what the EU proposes

Stop Killing Drinking: No ID & No Age Verification for buying beer.
We (as a society) recognize narcotics, such as alcohol, as bad, so we ban the children from taking them. We don’t burden the parents, because we recognize that there’re parents who won’t care.
Predatory online platforms are the same. If you don’t want to verify your identity, don’t use them.
If you are forced to be verified (but age verification is not the same as age declaration) without using those services, then it’s a valid compliant.
GOS is the most secure OS out there. If their team say that there’re no hardware kill switches or anything like that, I’m going to beilive them.

It is a distro. It has an ISO, community and can be installed

Good thing I don’t use debian.
And what does it have to do with the subject of the post? How does it help the OP?
1 & 2: it would work the same as all other EU specific things. You don’t need to comply with GDPR for people outside EU, you wouldn’t need to verify users outside the EU.
3: I don’t know what you mean. It could be easy to modify spec of those certs to include names.
4 You don’t know how this proposition is supposed to work.
In short:
There’re officially approved apps (you can’t just create you implementation arbitrary, but if you implementation meets all standards, you can work to have it approved). Using those apps, your credentials are secured with one (or many, I don’t understand that part) of:
Those apps must also use some defined encryption standards.
When you create your app, it needs to be approved by one of the member states.
The app can store all kinds of personal governmental things such as your ID, bank account number, drivers license, etc.
When a service wants to know whether you are 18 or more, you can give them your wallet. The wallet app will show who demands what informations and a reason they put in the request. You can approve or reject the request.
It doesn’t have to be tied to google or anyone other.
Yes, those apps won’t be libre, but (and you don’t need to agree with me) in my opinion this is better than letting people create any implementation they want.
GrapheneOS can create thier implementation, that relies on hardware security chip. Linux distros can create a joint implementation reliant on yubikeys and alternatives.
Also, alternatives must remain.
