#euverification — Public Fediverse posts

I'm still conflicted on the #EUverification app. Aside from the technical issues and Google dependency, I'm not a fan of the surveillance creep this introduces. But also, being childfree, I'm not exactly an expert on what kids need to be protected from.

I do see that the EU is trying to build the "least bad" option, #opensource and zero knowledge proof etc, but "which country you live in will shape how much of the privacy promise actually survives implementation" sounds *slightly* worrying.

What is interesting about the whole EU age verification app is that it sort of moves towards the original concept of Solid pods; aka you storing your own little data vaults instead of the services that use your data.

"The app lets you prove you are above a given age threshold without handing the requesting platform your name, document number, birth date, or anything else."
