minus-squareiknewitwhenisawit@fedinsfw.applinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down4·18 days agoI looked at the technology used by the EU age verification. You prove your age to the app by scanning the NFC in your passport. No government servers exist. When a site requests your age, you return only a “yes I’m older than 18”, proven by your passport. Not your age, just that you’re older. I think it preserves privacy pretty well. I don’t think that it will protect children, but I do think that it preserves privacy.
