They're using type of zk-proofs that keep things private. This is completely different from the "upload your selfie" shit in UK

Wrong. This is to violate everyone's rights and target children. This is fucking abhorrent and needs to be stopped.
just ban bigtech from EU, why touching the kids💀
The pedophile class is tightening the noose
I get my porn from illegal download sites that aren't interested in age-verification.
Like all Prohibition Policies, this is only going to push people toward more illegal outlets, which demonstrate more morality than the legal ones.
Or, as is the case with a lot of sex work, push people into more dangerous situations.
Fucking cunts won't stop. Next, it's gonna be chat control 3.0 again.
Who do we need to send to the guillotine?

If this is not the most crooked EU Comission ever, it's a pretty close second.
If they are so dead set on protecting children, I suggest starting with:
Gaza Strip and the West Bank (Palestine) Ukraine Sudan Myanmar Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Syria Yemen Ethiopia Afghanistan Haiti Niger Mali Burkina Faso
Zuzks wallet will do just fine in the mean time
Can we stop pretend they give a single fuck about kids?
Edit: poor choice of words. Thats the only thing they give kids.
It's for the CHILDREN, you COMMIE!
Nnnnnoooooooooo
Et tu, Bruté?
Conceptually, I think this is a lot closer to where things need to be. I do understand that the application does fall short in some critical aspects of security though, and on that basis it would still need more work to be suitable.
I understand and agree with the general sentiment of resisting the surveillance state that is dominating tech ever more in this space of ID verification, but this looks to me like it would be okay if the app was built with some very strict secure-by-design approach... which it does NOT seem to be.
There should be stronger technical controls availble to keep kids away from the dangerous things online, and I do think governments can potentially play a positive role in that.
I don't use apps from official software installation sources. I will boycott any site or service that asks me for unnecessary information.
still 99% of ppl especially youngsters use this bullshit social media and will fall for this spy company
Until you can't because they will deploy this absolutely everywhere to "protect the children" from whatever real or imaginary threat.
It will be banking that is used as the wedge for this. You'll have to use an approved device / OS / App to get access to the banking system. To protect the children.
I can use a phone to do business with my bank, dumb phone -> call number -> do banking, then again, I can also send up to $3k with no fee
We can always self-host. We're using such a resource right now. Of course they can start blocking and persecuting, like they're doing in Russia right now. At which point you should start learning about fpv drones as a hobby, particularly the fiber-optic kind.
