What do you guys think of this strategy? This seems like the only way to implement age verifcation that actually respects your #privacy (or does it?). I’m not necessarily endorsing it but I’m curious to hear peoples’ thoughts. #askfedi
@chimpchomp You’d have to trust that the bank or post office wouldn’t track which ID corresponds with each token.
Also needs to be a way to prevent you from handing your 18+ token to a 12 year old.
That’s assuming the People Pushing This want just age verification and not surveillance. Since Meta is pushing this, I don’t have much hope.
@bcasiello yeah, ive heard it proposed that these tokens should expire after a while to minimize the impact of people sharing this info with teens, but that seems like a hassle even for adults users who just want to go on the internet (imagine being unable to access your social media because you forgot to go out and buy your tokens)
is meta pushing for this kind of scheme though? I thought they were pushed for operating system level age verification
@chimpchomp Yeah, you’re right. That’s more of an offloading compliance thing. Sorry, I think I need a spreadsheet to keep from mixing up my dystopias.
