They intend to normalize requiring ID to use certain websites. How fast will we go from "it's fine as long as they do zero knowledge verification" to most websites on the internet requiring some government ID proof?

The EU has been working on a zero knowledge system as part of the EU Digital Identity Wallet project for a few years now. It is currently undergoing large scale field tests in several countries with expected release late this year. All member states are required to provide at least one free secure interoperable implementation to their citizens, and regulated industries such as banks and telecoms, are required to accept it. If a member state passes a law requiring age verification on social media it must include the EU Digital Identity Wallet as one of the verification methods the site must support.
What was that about no government would consider zero knowledge to be robust enough?
Same EU that wants to ban encryption?

Quite interesting how these countries are doing this one after another - Australia, France, and now Finland.

Sure, Readme is AI generated not the code :)
If the code is indeed not AI generated, then that's great. But the AI generated readme is not doing the reputation of the project any favors. Also, as others have mentioned, I would definitely want to see a screenshot of a tool like this before I even think about using it.
Congrats on the launch.

Governments just want to normalize ID verification for using online platforms. Children's safety is always the go-to cry for assimilating more power.

Boston marathon? The Madrid train bombings? 7/7? Ariana Grande?
Airport security has been stunningly successful.
But we don't have intense security checks at concerts, trains, or at marathon events as a result, do we?

The security theatre is there to make people feel safe.
It's about emotion not logic.
And to make some people richer.

How many man hours and how much money have we wasted over security theater at airports? Has it been a worthwhile trade off?
Meh. What do you think the grift is here exactly? No one’s trying to sell the newly minted source code to a web browser.
If this is the first time you’ve encountered a hype bubble, it’s a good opportunity to learn so that you can navigate the next one more easily.
If you think there is no grift here, then maybe it's your first hype bubble.
