In Russia we have gosuslugi.ru (state services), which nowadays requires 2FA and hasn't been compromised in any major way so far.
Among other things they provide a way for a third party to use it as identification service and a user chooses which data about himself he wants to share. No anonymity, though, and I don't see how it can be implemented so that the verification provider doesn't know which service is requiring age verification.
You seriously think Russia's state services are not compromised by intelligence?
Also, yea, no anonymity is the problem. Why would you want your government to be able to track every single website you've ever visited -- especially considering we're talking about an autocratic regime?
I'm astonished at the naivety on display on a community called "Hacker news."
"hacked", such a shame what happened in the background; it was a teenager who saw some url like "view_my_id_documents?id=1234" and just incremented the number, and could download the documents of other people (did on dozens of millions).
Why?

These already exist in several eu countries. Imagine that there are governments that is not America and that actually work.
