With ZKP age verification, services will not be able to track you without help from the CA. The CA will not be able to track you without help from the services. Both will contain the necessary information in their databases that when combined deanonymize you. The CA is the central authority/certificate authority.
So you should assume the government can track you, because you should assume both will be streaming those identifiers to it.

However, if it is, this implementation should be the base minimum, should it not? This is a gazillion percent better than a foreign corporation being in charge, isn't it?
- consumer451 3mo agoI am a moron for writing this, ZKP is like magic like this. That is the entire point, and why I posted this.
- ekr____ 3mo agoThis isn't correct. With ZKP-based systems even the CA can't track you. That's the "zero-knowledge" part.
- nubg 3mo agobut how is that possible? that even the CA cannot track you?
- ekr____ 3mo agoThat's not really possible to explain in this space, unfortunately, but the overall idea is that there are mathematical techniques that allow you to prove that you have a valid certificate without revealing which one it is.
