Yeah I don’t like how the discussion is shifting to implementation details, instead of debating whether any of this is good or necessary
IMO the implementation is crucial. If everything is locally on the device and I can confirm digitally that I'm older than 18 BUT NOTHING ELSE is leaked, like the German eID supports (I think).
Why/how would this be a bad thing?
Because that's debating the mechanics of it rather than the need or the ethics. Nobody gives a shit about the mechanics because if there's a debate about the mechanics that means the discussions about the need and the ethics have already happened. Yet those discussions are in fact still going with few in favour of the ethics or need for these systems. The mechanics are the final step after everything else has been settled.
Implementing this is fascist.
I want corrupt politicians to bog off and people to think long term. I guess we’re both going to be very disappointed.
My understanding is that this is much more privacy friendly than showing your id
Makes no difference in the fundamental dislike i have for the concept
Do you also dislike the concept of requiring to be a certain age to say enter a strip club or a sex club?
If not, what is the difference between those controls and having to be a certain age to enter porn sites?
Genuinely curious. To me, the primary objection to the online controls has been the implementations. The EU implementation will be[1] even better than the strip club, where the bouncer sees your ID and can remember it, when they move to zero-knowledge proofs.
