The move to add “age verification” to websites at the state level is pretty worrying, and is functionally pretty close to a complete ban on certain sites.
There’s a world where phone manufacturers store your ID and generate fancy zero-knowledge proofs to satisfy age verification requirements, but I’m not convinced putting Apple and Google in charge of more important things is the way our society should go.
@matthew_d_green The folks working on browser age verification live at https://github.com/WICG/identity-credential and https://github.com/w3cping/credential-considerations and would love help getting it closer to right.
