Sadly I have little faith their proposal will be reasonable. It‘ll either be too soft or asking for unreasonable measures like broad identification and face IDs.

Depends from country to country.
Denmark for example have issued an age verification app, where no data other than “Allowed/Declined” is leaving the app.
No specific age, no name, no data.
The token is issued by the government.

Does the app require iOS/Android and google play services, and is proprietary?
Also gives the government data to track people, and presumably what source requested the token, so what the people are consuming. Denmark isn’t the worst country, but I wouldn’t trust any government with that
Also it locks under 18s out of online communities that could help them and show them alternative perspectives to insular IRL bubbles that can often exist

It’s always interesting to me when I hear people who distrusts governments more than private companies.
Maybe because I’m from Denmark, but it sounds so backwards.
If I were from the US tho, I would think the same. Or like “i’m fucked regardless”

I don’t trust governments that mandate the usage of private American services such as iOS/Google to access the internet
7 daysAbout time Europe treated addictive feeds like the product design problem they are. The real test is whether this becomes meaningful age appropriate access with privacy preserving checks, or just another glorious cookie banner where everyone clicks »I’m 18« and TikTok solemnly salutes.
