I wonder why identity verification is even mentioned, when age verification is all that's needed.
- ronbenton 10mo agoThat’s a good call out, I should be more careful with my words. Practically, I haven’t seen age verification implemented online without some kind of identify credential furnished. But I didn’t mean to imply some kind of IAL2 compliant identity assurance or something
- mindslight 10mo agoBecause in an environment with personal computing devices and where consumer tech companies' primary business is surveillance, the two are equivalent. (Personal computing devices make it so anyone of a certain age can run software that proxies their credentials to another user (either for profit or activism), and the primacy of the surveillance business makes it so that third parties can never be trusted to mask your identity)
- LorenPechtel 10mo agoBecause that's what it is really about. Whatever label you put on it, it's really about removing privacy.
- mlrtime 10mo agoGenuine question, how do you age verify without KYC? Do we have any real world examples where this exists?
- linhns 10mo agoI works with KYC, there seems to be no viable way right now. I've heard discussions about using bone measurements similar to those used in sports to detect age cheaters.
