@vinterkarusell @itsfoss it could go either way, where they block, or implement a system that achieves verification in a good privacy preserving way that others adopt.
@el_haych2024 @vinterkarusell @itsfoss The way this system is supposed to work is mandated by law, and by definition, it cannot respect user privacy. First, they force OS developers to implement an API that exposes user data. Then, with each passing year, they increase the amount of information that API must expose. This is a pretty clear case of black and white. There is no middle ground.
@munigant @vinterkarusell @itsfoss yeah, and that's not the world we are living in anymore, so it has to be made as painless as possible
@el_haych2024 @vinterkarusell @itsfoss That mindset is incredibly, incredibly dangerous. When things are going to shit, and the majority of us just sit down and say "Yeah, we better learn to live with it", then we are in trouble. The end of anonymity is the end of the world any of us grew up in. The technical possibility to do this is the problem, not the execution, not the intention. It's the mere existence of this technology.
@el_haych2024 @vinterkarusell @itsfoss Explain to me a way where you send your age information without sending your age information hahaha. Your age is private data that will be abused hahaha
