Government 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.
