in case of the EU it's more the opposite GDPR requires data minimalism and ~use case binding so if you submit data for age verification there is no technical reason to keep it after knowing your age so you _have to_ delete it.

I always feel that if normal E2EE is very hard to do correctly the moment you add use cases which require zero knowledge proofs it's a x5-x10 complexity explosion on top of it. And that is in context where most companies will severely
