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.

First of all yes.
Secondly, it's the dumbest comparison anyone could possibly make.
The difference with a porn website is as follows:
- the age check on porn sites are notoriously dumb and useless, it's literally a meme. It was a meme before there were memes.
- I choose to go on porn sites. It's not exactly a requirement that I get access to a porn site. Access to my OS on my device to work, have fun or do whatever I want privately is kind of a lot more necessary.
"Zero knowledge proof". Yeah OK. I've got a few dozen bridges to sell you. Interested?

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?
Implementing this is fascist.

> First of all yes.
That at least explains a fair bit.
> the age check on porn sites are notoriously dumb and useless
That they have been useless is hardly an argument that's relevant to the current discussion.
> I choose to go on porn sites. It's not exactly a requirement that I get access to a porn site.
Indeed.
> Access to my OS on my device to work, have fun or do whatever I want privately is kind of a lot more necessary.
Sure, but that is an entirely different discussion.
Anyway, if you had some actual substance to your flippant dismissal it could perhaps lead to some interesting discussion.

#27That's not the real age verification app (there is no "EU app", every member state releases their own), it's the proof of concept that was made to demonstrate the system. This stuff is also why the EU doesn't want the app to run on rooted devices. I don't believe there's a way to pass Strong Integrity yet, as the app doesn't support the hackable Android 8 software attestation.
I just want this whole idea to kindly please bog off. We shouldn't be further creating the apparatus of the surveillance state.
I want corrupt politicians to bog off and people to think long term. I guess we’re both going to be very disappointed.
