It's used for when you are sick.

No. As the other person said. The answers to the zkp do not refer to each other. All the site knows is SOME user was not 18 yesterday, and today SOME user is 18 (or 24.. or 89...). No relation between the two zkps/certs.
There isn't one. Local, on-device zero knowledge proof in a cross-platform OSS app. You scan your ID's NFC tag, once. Site only gets "is over 18 y/n" info. We all already have these IDs and they are used for a bunch of stuff, from doing taxes to creating bank accounts.
Agreed. The "parents are too blame" crowd is insane to me. How are you gonna control what your kid does on the wifi hotspot Derek in the last row on the school bus created?
The app (open source, cross platform, completely locally, no photo id, no 3rd parties involved) only provides sites with a yes/no on "is person over 18?", via an on-device zkp.
So good luck pitching a solution that is more privacy friendly than this, because this is pretty much the perfect solution. I'm honestly elated that the EU is releasing this, because it means I'll NOT need to deal with privacy-nightmare situations like in other countries where legislation came before a technical solution. This lays a fantastic baseline for the EU to force companies to use THIS solution for age verification, essentially killing the data harvesters dead.
It always feels like YouTube is double dipping though. Not with what the post is about; that's either/or, obviously.
But Google makes a nice profit collecting user data and behavior, and then selling that to advertising companies. That happens regardless of using an adblocker, and I'd be shocked if it doesn't also happen regardless of YT premium.
But at the same time, Google also IS an advertising company; they use their user data collection platform to also show ads to users, getting paid again.
So personally, even if YT wasn't owned and operated by a shitstain of a capitalist eldritch horror company, I'd still have zero qualms blocking all their ads: they're making money off of me regardless.
Yeah, not having ads in the phone app, the TV app, the music app on the phone or in the browser is really nice, I love it. Also got that for all my friends and family.
Never paid YouTube a dime though :)
Oh right, yes. Sorry.
The (edit: second) Osaka one is just sad. Grief sucks.
Fuck, Id be okay with any random Culture citizen
Did they still not release the actual torrents though?
And why would they implement it in a somewhat private manner if it could be implemented in a privacy-infringing manner?
I honestly don't think most democratic governments have an interest in making this privacy-infringing. Lobbyists/companies on the other hand... But all the more reason to write legislation that ensures age verification must be handled like this.
That already tells the government that I’m accessing porn because why else would I need to confirm I’m an adult online?
Cinema rickets for FSK18 movie? Ordering alcohol? Gambling? Renting a car?
Basically anything you're only allowed to do as an adult.
But that's kind of why I mentioned, it's just one rough draft for such a protocol.
Ernsthaft :(
