    Agreed. The “parents are too blame” crowd is insane to me. How are you gonna control what your kid does on the wifi hotspot Derek in the last row on the school bus created?

    The app (open source, cross platform, completely locally, no photo id, no 3rd parties involved) only provides sites with a yes/no on “is person over 18?”, via an on-device zkp.

    So good luck pitching a solution that is more privacy friendly than this, because this is pretty much the perfect solution. I’m honestly elated that the EU is releasing this, because it means I’ll NOT need to deal with privacy-nightmare situations like in other countries where legislation came before a technical solution. This lays a fantastic baseline for the EU to force companies to use THIS solution for age verification, essentially killing the data harvesters dead.
