Considering "meatspace" age check can't be done without an ID check, how do we expect to solve this in online space?
ZKP is either a "smokescreen" at best (anyone who has the resources can do the tracing and state actors absolutely have that) and a pointless exercise at worst (if the ZKP token is transferable then it makes the entire system useless).

@rawenwolf@meow.social @mullvadnet@mastodon.online How do we expect to solve it? Theoretically, I could prove that I'm above 18 by showing a 1*1cm photo of my forehead. Or a photo of my ID after I physically covered everything but my birth year. Or a short video of my hands holding a note with a specific code given by the verifier. Or a receipt from a recent purchase of alcohol/tobacco. It's just that politicians prefer that I send all my ID info and regular biometric scans to their favorite third parties. Because reasons.
