@mjj@mstdn.dk @Gargron@mastodon.social ... and I think it is a good idea, although I am critical towards requireing identification for stuff like social networks, and using it to deny young people access to knowledge, etc. They have a similar app in Netherlands, and probably more on the way throughout europe.

There is a case to be made for a safe age verification for online communities for minors. Back in the good times when the US government tried to be part of a solution, president Obama’s Cyber Czar put out a proposal for a brokered verfication service to keep adults (potential groomers and pdfs) out of online games and services designed for school kids. The student registries would’ve served as a source for identity and age verification and the individual app or an endpoint device would then be minted an anonymous proof of age. It never materialised but the idea was compelling.
