Problem: the millisecond this system is rolled out, personal data will be attached to it, not least because I'm just going to generate unlimited 18+ tokens and sell them for $10 apiece
- Larrikin 1y agoYou don't need to identify the user, just be able to show that two tokens are the same user and invalidate, log out both users, and make them generate a new token. You can sell your license to kids today, but it doesn't scale and is a terrible idea to give a kid an ID to a place you frequent.
- immibis 1y agoSo basically how it is today with phone verification. There are websites where you can pay $5 to borrow a phone number to verify a particular service. Except you only get one at a time. Your idea also amounts to preventing ban evasion by linking a government ID to each account, which is on of the criticisms of linking accounts to government ID. And preventing multiple accounts even when not used to ban-evade.. And are you going to give the government N^2 queries every day?
