"Age verification" laws are "we want to have all adults and their complete online profile in a database" laws, and that Persona, the company behind LinkedIn, Roblox, Discord ID and age verification is owned by Peter Thiel should be all you need to know.
@ela Appears to be a well developed “ Verifiable Credentials Data Model” that could be extended to meet demands of identity while maintaining privacy. Will this just be ignored?

Verifiable Credentials Data Model v2.0
A verifiable credential is a specific way to express a set of claims
made by an issuer, such as a driver's license or an education certificate. This
specification describes the extensible data model for verifiable credentials,
how they can be secured from tampering, and a three-party ecosystem for
the exchange of these credentials that is composed of issuers, holders,
and verifiers. This document also covers a variety of security, privacy,
internationalization, and accessibility considerations for ecosystems that
use the technologies described in this specification.
