- exasperaited 1y agoYes, but a core feature of contemporary digital ID is age-only digital attestation -- that is, yes this unnamed person is old enough. The absence of such means that there are few ways for people to verify their ages without handing over scans of their IDs to far too many organisations. In the UK we do have one means to do this that is not widely used yet: since all mobile phone providers attempt to block adult content by default until the owner proves they are an adult (a pretty long-standing pre-existing child safety/parental control initiative by PAYG providers that has evolved to be standard across all contract types), the question of "can you prove you are 18" can now be delegated to the MNOs. But not all the age verification agencies are doing it.
