wiredpancake commented on EFF launches Age Verification Hub   eff.org/press/releases/ef... · Posted by u/iamnothere

I am disappointed to find no mentions of zero knowledge proofs or any other indications that we wont have to trust anyone with this task.

We have the technology to do age verification without revealing any more information to the site and without the verification authority finding out what sites we are browsing. However, most people are ignorant of it.

If we don't push for the use of privacy preserving technology we wont get it and we will get more tracking. You cannot defeat age verification on the internet, age verification is already a feature of our culture. The only way out is to ensure that privacy preserving technologies are mandated.

Everyone, including politicians are intimately aware of Zero Knowledge Proofs.

Google even open-sourced technology to enable it: https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/opening-up-ze...

The politicians don't want Zero Knowledge Proof because it prevents the mass-surveillance of internet users. This is all deliberate.

You're right, but Social Media was one of the last places one could be critical of the Government whilst also being anonymous or pesudo-anonymous.

How can seatbelts be enforced? This is preposterous and imbecilic- if there isn't a policeman inside every car checking every minute how will we make sure that people are wearing them. Clearly there is no point in trying!

There is seatbelt cameras in Australia.

They are everywhere, they can also be mobile and placed almost anywhere. These camera are mounted high so they can view down in through the windscreen.

They automatically issue a $1,251 for not wearing one to the license holder.
