I rented a car, and within hours, my driver's license was for sale

But don’t forget guys, uploading your government IDs to any old fucking website to prove your age is very safe and protects children. There’s no way this could go wrong and everyone in the supply chain is very trustworthy

The QR/one time code way makes a lot more sense and avoids this issue

How about we just don’t suck the dicks of authoritarian wannabe dipshits that have proven they can’t secure any information properly and can’t run any institution properly?

I don’t know exactly what you mean, I just think for age gating there’s ways that are a lot better

That’s the issue. We don’t need nanny’s to age gate us on the internet. All it does is create a very short path to removing anonymity on the internet

Don’t mind some age gating tbh. It would have to be pretty convenient and anonymous though.

How do you imagine it will be anonymous? Or convenient, for that matter.

Easy. You set the age in the os (or age range) per system account.

Apps can then request this and allow/ deny based on it. Requires admin / sudo to update age range.

No need for 3rd parties, id or anything else.

If parents are concerned about it they can implement it easily. If not, they can ignore it.
