- throwaway290 3y agoApp requests that you are of age. You are redirected to gov site, you log in to gov site, gov site tells app true or false. No one knows your age, no one checks your ID, besides the gov site which anyway knows your age because they issued your ID. This is basic OAuth. What's the problem again?

- throwaway290 3y agoTrue, but gov site doesn't have to be informed which site is asking whether you are of age or not. The problem as I see it is not about government gatekeeping stuff (they already can do it if they want and we can already bypass it if we want, like literally nothing will change) but that third-party sites that profile users can now also add "of age" to fingerprints.
