How? Now people are sending their photo ids to many sites. With the app you’d be sending a cryptographic key that tells the site nothing else than the person who has this, is 18+

Man, that would be fun. Probably healthier for them too haha

Where I live a lot of kids have bank accounts, but of course it would be silly to put a lot of money there. But can’t you deposit cash into bitcoin things and use them for payments or gift cards? I’ve seen those on some gambling sites.
And if you say “well they can steal their parent’s credit card,” how would that not equally apply to a parent’s photo ID or anything else necessary for age-verification?
Photo ID apparently needs a face scan too, it’s not enough to just have the ID. Then you get into what if they steal the ID, fool their parents and whatnot which… I don’t think that’s as much of a concern tbh

I think it’s supposed to be additional to parenting, like carding at stores

I was thinking gambling but porn is illegal to buy for under 18-yo in some places so they might use the age gating for that too

I’m against sending pictures of your card. Just showing your card to a shopkeeper, that’s fine imo.
I don’t think there being a delay once you originally setup the app is a big issue or takes more than a few minutes max. You do that first time and then your phone is generating the key based on the master key, the site confirms the key with the central server. That sort of handshake or what it is called happens almost instantly.

That sounds a lot more involved, expensive and burdensome to people than just having the site ask you to verify with the app
-

The child would need to get the app and have it verified (id and face scan, bank logins).
I know kids steal or fake ids but yeah not a reason imo to not card people hah
a bad actor could give keys to kids and then use that same key as blackmail to control them.
How would that work, be around to verify with the app or something?

I’d be more worried if the apps were closed source but the ones I’ve heard about that are making an actual implementation of the protocol are open source so you can see everything it is doing, who it is contacting etc

You can use a driver’s license or your bank. Different methods to verify it to the app. After verification, the app won’t save the info, just the knowledge that you’re over 18.
the app also knows every site you visit (that requests your age)
Not much of a worry locally. Disabling history is probably included in this (sort of porn mode/incognito, same as your browser). The info isn’t much use locally anyway
In practice that’s just your government (as that’s the most likely source of authority to verify your age) tracking what you’re doing on the web.
Government knows you’ve verified the app but they don’t know what you’re using the app for, it doesn’t have phone home. Your app is giving the site a generated cryptographic key, the site compares that to see if it is a valid key and then accepts it. The key doesn’t carry your personal info with it, so the central db doesn’t know who is being asked about, just whether the key is valid (so someone is 18+)

I’m not sure if there’s some popular video you’re talking about but I’m talking about the EU ID proposal. Haven’t seen any videos about it

I think even without sending pics of you id to random sites you can see the benefit of a system where the only info being shared is “18+ yes/no”. As many people won’t be fucked over by data leaks at least

That’s very nice but you could still have your fight about the thing while having a much better system in place. Then you get your fight against it and everyone gets less of their info out there.
It’s just a horrid system, sending pictures of your id with all your info on it, to random sites
-

I don’t think you understand the situation. They’re already doing the id verification. They’re not going to stop with that. I’d much prefer telling a site I’m 18+ than having to send in photos of my id to every random website out there. 🤷♂️

It’s not like we don’t have regulations, policies and (some) enforcement. But there’s still dogshit parents. And for this kind of thing, how would you even enforce it?
-

They’re already doing the verification and it’s not going away. I definitely prefer a better way to do it

You can protect the identity and all other info of the person than if they’re over 18 or not. I think that’s a lot better than the other ways sites are now using.
Unless you think it of just as bad because a site knowing if you’re 18+ is a violation of privacy, so might as well give them everything haha
-
on I rented a car, and within hours, my driver's license was for sale in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
If it’s going to be implemented imo it’s better to do with a privacy respecting centralized fashion than sending your id pics all over the place
-
on I rented a car, and within hours, my driver's license was for sale in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
Well the implementation is going to be that you prove your age to the id app that only saves the info that you’re over 18. Then the id app just tells that info to the website (or app or whatever I guess). So the site doesn’t know who is trying to prove their age or even what their age is, just that they’re over 18.
It would be nice to have that sort of quick and easy app for verifying your personal information too. I don’t think we have one where I live. We always use a bank for that and that’s more hassle than I’d like

Have the app you use to verify scan it so it can sanitize it

It’s probably more effective done at the other end. It’s not like you can make parents parent

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

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