Policy shift with technical implications.
The European Parliament endorsed an opinion proposing:
• Social media ban under 13
• Parental consent under 16
• Privacy-preserving age assurance mechanisms
• Expanded regulation under the Digital Fairness Act
Security and engineering considerations:
Zero-knowledge proof-based age verification?
On-device age estimation vs centralized ID checks?
Data minimization vs compliance logging requirements?
AI-driven manipulation detection standards?
Age verification at EU scale introduces non-trivial architectural challenges - particularly around privacy-by-design and cross-border enforcement.
From a security architecture perspective:
Can platforms implement robust age controls without increasing identity exposure risks?

If you collect it, someone at some point will come to exploit it.

My advice to everyone: always retain as much data as possible never, ever overshare, and always compartmentalize¹. 🔒🧩 #PrivacyTips #DontOvershare #Compartmentalize #DataMinimization
1 In information security, compartmentalization limits access to sensitive data to only those with a "need to know," dividing information into isolated segments to minimize breach impact. If one compartment is compromised—say, by an insider or cyberattack—attackers can't easily access others, reducing overall risk
