The only way I can think of to do this completely anonymously (at least for the government and social media) is for you to buy a card in cash that has a little code on it. You'd need your ID to buy it, and you'd put your code into your operating system and things that demand age verification can ask the OS whether or not you're over 18. Alternatively, you can give the service your code to verify your age, but that would be less convenient and lead to a larger tracking footprint, so it likely wouldn't be used unless necessary
- tkzed49 8mo agoCan I buy them for my underage friends at different stores? Is there revocation and hence a database that maps codes to identities? How are the codes minted? Can I pretend to be a gas station and buy a big pack of ID cards, then just not check ID?
- mghackerlady 8mo agoThat kind of thing is for someone with governing experience to solve. I suppose revoking them every now and then would be good, and maybe for ease of minting new unique codes they could loosely be tied to location. I'm not too worried about that, as your IP could be used in a similar way and the services shouldn't be reading the codes themselves regularly anyway
