Can we not have anonymous age verification, the ID card signing some one-time challenge that the date of birth is before a certain date? And then just force everyone to implement this to prevent circumvention by going to smaller sites that are not covered by the regulation. This would certainly not be global, so it would require identifying the origin region to decide whether to present this challenge or not. Which could most likely be bypassed with a VPN but then again [almost] nothing will be without any loopholes.
- bogwog 3y agoGovernment ID based webauthn sounds like it could work to solve a lot of problems (bots and spam too). Although it'd be hard to use the internet if you're required to present one for major services (which seems inevitable). There are a lot of reasons someone may not have access to a government ID (e.g. slow bureaucracy) Maybe a nongovernment solution would work too, where certified service providers can sell keys that verify two booleans: is_human and is_minor.
- filoleg 3y agoSouth Korea does it, and from what my friends who lived there (ranging from living there for a year to multiple years) told me, it is about as bad as you would expect. For one, you cannot even access a ton of services and websites unless you got your alien resident card. Online shopping, games, most websites, tons of services, etc. It is such a shitshow, being without that alien resident card might as well make you non-existent. And it takes a while to get it even if you live close to a government office that schedules appointments for those, given it is a good old bureaucracy.
