Has anyone got any half decent ideas for how to improve age verification? Obvs without this draconian shit.
I had a thought once about doing it with NFTs, where a company could independently verify you with certain metadata, like 'is human' or 'is over 18' etc. Then you get issued your token, and these sites can verify you without de-anoninising you.
Not sure if that's a naff idea, but would be interested to know if anyone's got anything better
The EU has something in the works with zero knowledge proofs. Which would be a good way to do this.
I still don't agree on the fact that this needs doing at all... But at least it's not as bad as the UK's half-baked nonsense
Unfortunately, even EU's solution doesn't support non-google-backed android.
