EU has some controversy RN over trying to do this.

They want to make an app that does this basically.

It loads/verifies your ID/passport and creates a signature /key valid for some time. Then if some app wants to verify your age it derives a key/signature/whatever with your age bracket attached and the app is happy knowing that you’re e.g. 15-18, that the app used a valid signature and apparently nothing else.

There’s supposed to be a FOSS implementation of it somewhere too.

I do feline it one bit and I don’t remember the exact mechanism it’s supposed to be, but at the very least this appears to try to be actually for the kids. However someone might still be able to bakr in calling home (the app is the trusted party here) so a government might be able to log that person xyz logged into pornhub or something.

I hought its possible on reddit too? Good catch, a wrote this angry and tired and I use an app that I’m not familiar with. Great time!

it’s InTeRnAtIoNaL - yes, and I’m in the EU, noone cares…

Yeah, one thing is a bank or a government and another is this… Everyone and their mother will have my id and I have to believe it will be safe?

What about the kids? How is their data protected with these systems where security it quite often an afterthought?

Also - they apparently think I’m a kid, why are they still serving me targetted ads? “What about the kids”?

There also not safe, but we’re very sorry for the leak which got the IDs of 10 000 of our customers.

Didn’t Pesona even get caught in a lie just like this in the past?

I wouldn’t really put it like that. There a reason many people who just don’t understand it.

I bought a lock for my house. A professional locksmith can easily call me a dumb fuck for choosing that one but with the knowledge I had I chose the best option I could think of.

Sadly there’s nothing many people in the communities here. I would live fo vet rid of it completely but it doesn’t seem that I’d be able to get as much help here, e.g. about my motorbike, as on reddit - it has a dedicated community there with quite a lot of people wich sadly isn’t happening any time soon here.
