A little more aggressive than maybe necessary, but I do appreciate the sentiment. Truly.
My goal here is to try and point out that there is a solution that can be rolled out in under 6 months by leveraging existing kyc infrastructure.
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS!
Can this be beefed up to make credential resale impractical, while still preserving anonymity in the face of collusion while still being legitimate enough to rely on as evidence that someone is over 18? Absolutely! Will it be perfect? No.
As a Texan, my rights are being eroded daily, bit by bit (pardon the pun). Its dog shit that my kids have to live in a world where my government is effectively legislating morality and enforcing it on technicalities by DDOSing the legal system. But this IS the world I live in.
My other options are what? Vote, move, or use TOR?
If you're so clever, help. Improve it. Create something better but don't sit back and shit on a first draft of something that is trying (admittedly poorly) to put a speed bump in front of our freight train to the Republic of Gilead.

You complain of the erosion of privacy, and yet your goal is to give the oppressors tools to justify their actions. Especially tools that you know are far from perfect to achieve the anonymity goal. I'm sure that you don't have bad intentions, but what is happening after is that persons less take savy will take your work as an example that "it is possible" and that technologists are bullshiting them when saying that it is not possible without eroding anonymity. They will not look further than that. Look we can do laws because it is not impossible if we want. If you look well in UK, this is what is happening, the country trying to give the legislator a reality check, but too late.
