The final phase of the Mandating Honeypots project is officially live.

It transforms the vulnerability identified in Phase 2 into a local parental control tool that proves digital ID verification isn’t necessary; we can protect children without needing to compromise privacy and data security.

I’m looking forward to hearing the community’s thoughts on this.

Legislation like the Parents Decide Act (H.R. 8250) creates honeypots & privacy nightmares. It's labeled a "technical necessity", but I'm releasing phase 1 of my project to prove that decentralized, non-invasive verification is possible.

Phase 1: Position paper + ZKP demo.
Phase 2 : Auditing D-Bus vulnerabilities.
Phase 3: Creating a local parental control utility based on findings in phase 2.
