Many might’ve seen the Australian ban of social media for <16 y.o with no idea of how to implement it. There have been mentions of “double blind age verification”, but I can’t find any information on it.

Out of curiosity, how would you implement this with privacy in mind if you really had to?

    I don’t know anything about cryptology; I have an imagination about how many things can go wrong hooking up parts and running them.

    If it’s the law to make an age verification system then it will be made.

    But I think one either has an age verification or privacy, but not both, in any country in the world.

    I’m totally sure many of the discussions here about crypto are way above my head. But I’m equally sure while any one part will look fine in paper, the sum total will be used by an expanding government agency, crime, or both.
