Zero-knowledge proof means that the app could actually be private. Seriously, this could be used for good.
Experts that EU chooses to ignore disagree.
I'm EU and we already have digital IDs in most countries, controlled by our governments and mandatory to access government and public administrations websites.
These IDs don't let websites collect more info that they already can without any IDs at all. If you think you're protected form Meta/Google/Microsoft/whatever profiling you, your IP, geo-locating you if you use a phone, just because they don't have your ID, I have a bridge to sell you.
That's not to say this thing is good, age-verification is bad and dangerous, they should educate people instead, both kids and parents. But having governments manage your ID is much less evil than giving it to private companies or baking it into an operating system.
It all comes down on how they implement this app, and the code being opensource is a good thing.
Nope! This is cryptographically impossible. See Signals sealed sender. It only works because Signal doesn't keep a map between account and the certs.
No it won't
