I think the whole point of the "eID" would be that people don't have to do that. Using Zero Knowledge Proof.
- Aloisius 1y agoYou generally have to do it to get an eID in the first place. In France's case though (from the article): > Instead, users must verify their age using a credit card or a government-issued ID. This check must be carried out by an external service, not the porn site itself.
- palata 1y agoPresumably you have an ID issued by your government. This same government can provide an eID, it's not like they don't know who you are. The whole question is: is it possible to prove your age to a pornsite without exposing your identity to said pornsite and without telling your government that you use it? And that would be the point of Zero Knowledge Proofs. Now of course, there are infinitely many poor ways to verify the age.
