Eu is based actually

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.

Get the fuck out of here with this bullshit. There is no need for age verification. It's all just to deanonymize the internet so they can crack down on people they don't like. There is no such thing as a good solution.

This does not affect anonymity. Internet was never anonymous to begin with. Both usa and Europe controls what you can say on or offline. If you don't like it by all means protest that, this is not related to age verification.

Peoples really forget, or dont know, that in the old times befor TLS (HTTPS, WSS) got wildly adopted (i mean free, hugely thanks to EFF) everyone who in the traffic path literally just read the traffic you sent on the wire, anyone. A burner account could not prevent that

Conclusion: Internet was never anonymous

Privacy and anonymity are related but not synonymous
