The problem is not that we aren’t doing age verification, it’s that a group of authoritarians are trying to force mandatory implementation of age verification (and concomitant removal of anonymity). That’s the problem.
It seems like the solution is to provide an age verification mechanism with robust privacy protections. That way when we offer a solution that works for all of their states concerns, if they disagree with the privacy preserving approach we force them to say outright "I want to keep a record of every website you visit."
Unfortunately not. They will use even the most privacy preserving protocol to push remote attestation of end devices. Which in itself is a stepping stone making their next steps much easier.
Why would they say that is necessary?

I don't understand how such a thing could be possible. Privacy is inherently gone, even if the third party doesn't learn your real name.
Anonymity is a myth. I am sure by now an LLM can figure out who you are and where you live by your HN posts alone.
Do it then
I nave never, and will never, use AI on my own accord.
