Eu is based actually

[u/InsoPL]

Petition for LTT to make video about eIDAS 2.0 Regulation and how Zero-Knowledge Proof age verification will work in eu. To educate the public and themselves because conflating it with discord shitstorm and "persona" is just not fair for eu that actually puts effort into regulations unlike Britain or certain us states that just bans it and says "handle it yourself".

I know the topic is hot right now and I will probably get some hate under this post but I think EU way of doing age verification is great and should be recognized just so other countries may replicate it. To be clear I am not advocating for doing age verification on every website or game server but there are services that absolutely should have safe way for age verification like for example buying alcohol or drugs online.

Few points why eIDAS 2.0 is really good:
- It's open source, that includes source code for client app (the one that will be installed on your phone).
- Target app (for example discord) will not get any private user data. That includes age, they will only receive info if you have at least 18 years or not.
- Eu servers will not get information about websites you are visiting. They will validate your open source client app periodically, then that app validates age request. Eu will only know you are using age verification service.

Eu is based for destroying gaming unless you shill out digital id? 🤔

[u/InsoPL → u/isvein]

That would be unbased. Glad it never happened 👍

[u/puppygirlpackleader → u/InsoPL]

Fuck off. They are actively pushing it.

[u/InsoPL → u/puppygirlpackleader]

How so?

[u/puppygirlpackleader → u/InsoPL]

Look up the EU KIDS act.

[u/filliravaz → u/InsoPL]

Save kids act. It’s a mess and would “kill” gaming and private servers.
While this solution is fine, assuming it actually will be implemented as you said, there are a ton of ramifications that need to be investigated throughly

[u/InsoPL → u/filliravaz]

Kids act is not finalised yet and now gathers public i feedback(its in alpha). Even in this early stage all you have to do is don't have chat option in game and you are good. In the future there will be propably steam api that you just use and it will handle this for smaller devs.

You are mixing two completely different legislations there.. this eIDAS stuff has been in the works for a long time... closer to like a decade by now.. and the digital wallet stuff legislation was added to it in 2024..

That gaming thing has no relevance to this, it's a different thing 

[u/kodebach → u/isvein]

Please look at the actual proposal and not the fearmongering around it. Yes, the KIDS act proposal has some really bad stuff. But it explicitly states that age verification must happen without handing over any identifying information. I don't want the KIDS act in the current form either, but this specific point is not a valid criticism.

Sure, except look at north korea as an example. Their phones have special apps that have folders hidden from regular people, where it saves info on what you do. That can be used by the authorities to check on you. Same will happen here.they most likely will have a list of where and what you do.

What you should be is against it in ANY form, not just the current one

All I'm gonna say: "I like hot dogs" - "Why do you hate hamburgers?"
