it's government backed, their for the government knows every time it's used and it identifies you...
when a service requests to use it, it becomes correlation data... this is data both the government and the application developers can use to identify you on the internet.
It may mean nothing today, but I can and will if either the application switches developers to a nation who uses this information for nefarious means. or if your government changes policies to something intentionally nefarious.
blind trust is never good.

I’m not advocating blind trust. Nor being too trusty. The specific point here is service access with need of proof of age. The threat I was addressing in this instance is the service provider not the trust provider. Other patterns apply for scenarios in which government is a threat a well. Let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
