There's a lot of talk of online #ageverification systems these days. @pluralistic describes how doing so in a way that preserves #privacy is bullshit and technically impossible.

The EU launched an age verification app to protect children online. A researcher broke it in two minutes. That's not actually the problem.

It is for parents to raise their children. Not platforms.
The European Age Verification App is ready.
It will allow users to prove their age when accessing online platforms. Just like shops ask for proof of age for people buying alcoholic beverages.
And it ticks all the boxes:
✅ Highest privacy standards in the world
✅ Works on any device
✅ Easy to use
✅ Fully open source

@EUCommission This is an obscenity - but you already know that. Shame on each and every one who participated in bringing this about.
