Once you realize it’s not “age verification”, but actually “identity verification”, then it’s easy to understand that the real goal is “papers, please” for the entire internet.

@mhoye I am sure other reply guys also told you in Europe with a e-wallet you can prove your age without uploading anything. https://edri.org/our-work/showing-your-id-to-get-online-might-become-a-reality-a-closer-look-at-the-eus-new-age-verification-app/

still doesnt make age verification for websites a good idea

Showing your ID to get online might become a reality - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

The European Commission is close to a ‘solution’ that could force people to use their government-issued ID to get online.

@mhoye Yup, they are tired of not being able to tell whose a dog and whose a human on the Internet 😃

@mhoye No it isn't.

They already have all of your info. We know this because the FBI just inadvertently revealed it by producing video evidence publicly that wasn't supposed to exist.

They have your info and they are feeding it to your government freely and without a warrant.

ID verification is just a simple means of proving you confirmed someone isn't a child.
