Exactly. Just have a system that has basically no other info than “they had a valid token showing they’re 18”. Nobody does anything with that info if there’s a data breach.

I wonder how different Linux distros are going to implement this

Incompetence is one big reason why current style systems are just a no-go for me.

That’s really what the whole rest of my reply was about. We need a system more like carding and less like giving them copy of your passport.

It was just a bit much with the different aspects of it

I’m not against proper age verifications as such, it would be like carding people in a store or a bar. But I just haven’t seen an implementation of it that isn’t prone to being a privacy nightmare and surveillance state shit.

I know there’s some systems that generate a token that verify that you are 18 and you give that to the site, so neither side directly meet so to say. The site knows only that you have a valid token for being 18 and the app or service you use to generate the token knows just that you wanted to token for something. I think Spain was figuring out a system like that.

Or biased in the right direction
