EU chief calls for a bloc-wide push on an age verification app to protect children online. If enforced, users will have to prove their age to access legally restricted sites.
Lmao. Anonymous system my ass. You trust the government to do that? And pray tell how the government is going to implement id verification on os?
It’s such a stupid idea. How are you even going to enforce that? And even if it gets implemented, what’s stopping a kid from using an adult’s device to bypass it?
The EU age verification system, of which I’m talking and of which the OP was about, is not baked into the OS. That might be the case in the US. I’m lucky I don’t live there. And this discussion here is about the EU system, not the US one.
Your ISP has a record over every single website you’ve visited and your payment provider knows 99% of all purchases you’ve made and your phone knows where you’ve been at all times. Your threshold for having to trust that laws prevent wanton use of all this information doesn’t shift with anonymous age gating.
Frankly the concerns you display in the post reveal to me that you’ve not spent a great detail looking into what’s actually being proposed.
