I don’t understand this.

Age verification is not more difficult than a payment system.

I mean, if I can pay on a website without the website to know my credit card number, I should be able to prove my age without the website to know anything about me either.

France has a ID verification system for all its service. You’d think they should be able to provide a hook that lets people prove they’re over the age limit to any third party without the third party knowing. It seems fairly basic.

There is a solution to this.

There are privacy issues on the internet, but I think this ain’t one.
