HACK13

With the world getting more forced age verification. I feel good that there are people trying to do it in a “safer” way. Stumbled upon https://agekey.org and from first glances, seems kinda like a possible solution that can respect privacy. Love to get others thoughts on the security aspect of it like maybe from @soatok or others who are in the cyber security space.

Again, I am not saying I’m for this change of trying to identify people online. That said, I do think we deserve something similar to a person flashing their ID to buy something age restricted. I know it will never be perfect, but I something that can do that minus all my private info but my age… it would help smaller businesses like mine feel better about complying with these l laws… because just like the CA OS age law, it’s comply or be fined out of legal existence.

I honestly think a better solution is parents parenting their damn kids Instead of putting the burden of babysitter on literally everyone on the Internet

Also where's the GitHub?.
If it's not open source we can't trust it.

We just got to take there word for it
We should not be relying on a closed source service when it comes to our private biometric data.

I want to know exactly how my data is processed and what happens and closed source is not how you get trust.

"Just trust me bro" is not acceptable when it comes to my data.

Don't get me wrong if what they are saying is taken at base value this is a good and secure way of handling things but I'm hard pressed to not believe their word

Also I still fundamentally believe that parents should parent their kids first It's like parents are creating a problem and we're being sold the solution

Overall I'll have to wait until someone that's smart actually looks into this service

Optimally there should be an open source app I can run on my computer that does the computation completely locally and saves a key to my local app data or something

But again no matter what solution we come up with it doesn't solve the core problem
