Well the implementation is going to be that you prove your age to the id app that only saves the info that you’re over 18. Then the id app just tells that info to the website (or app or whatever I guess). So the site doesn’t know who is trying to prove their age or even what their age is, just that they’re over 18.
It would be nice to have that sort of quick and easy app for verifying your personal information too. I don’t think we have one where I live. We always use a bank for that and that’s more hassle than I’d like
And which of those systems are secure themselves, oses and their manufacturers - the answer is none. None are secure enough to trust that private information on mandatory verification systems. Not the base systems nor any systems that would share any approval tokens.
That’s the issue. We don’t need nanny’s to age gate us on the internet. All it does is create a very short path to removing anonymity on the internet
Don’t mind some age gating tbh. It would have to be pretty convenient and anonymous though.
How do you imagine it will be anonymous? Or convenient, for that matter.

Easy. You set the age in the os (or age range) per system account.
Apps can then request this and allow/ deny based on it. Requires admin / sudo to update age range.
No need for 3rd parties, id or anything else.
If parents are concerned about it they can implement it easily. If not, they can ignore it.
So any unchecked web/app developer can see if a child is visiting their site? No thanks. This will make children less safe.
I will VPN to mars before I upload my ID, or that of my child for that matter. Not a chance in hell.
They already want this, but in a worse way 😆
Government: we want to kill all women!
People: this is unacceptable
Government: we can compromise: we want to kill all black and trans women!
People: yay, deal! lets accept this, this is much better!
But it needs to be verified there first in some way, and then services will need to somehow verify that your device properly verified it.

Why does it need to be verified? If the parents set it up as an adult they can’t be mad when its treated as an adult?
that’s how we get to the point that the parents need to be made accountable. the only correct answer.
That’s fucking tivoization
So lets just take kids off the internet. Sounds pretty great to me.
Man, that would be fun. Probably healthier for them too haha
