@punissuer@universeodon.com @jonsnow@mastodon.online that's not how the EU age attestation proposal and reference implementation work though. They use privacy-preserving attestation using zero-knowledge proofs (which has issues too). So, age proofs would be tied to authentication in e.g. a national ID app (such as DigiD in the Netherlands), which would basically return a true/false to sites for an age check. It won't work with silly photo scans like some other countries. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/faqs/eu-age-verification-solution
