It is for parents to raise their children. Not platforms.
The European Age Verification App is ready.
It will allow users to prove their age when accessing online platforms. Just like shops ask for proof of age for people buying alcoholic beverages.
And it ticks all the boxes:
✅ Highest privacy standards in the world
✅ Works on any device
✅ Easy to use
✅ Fully open source

@EUCommission can't wait to try on my PostMarketOS phone, running just Linux (no Android, no iOS) and if genuinely it "✅️ Works on any device".
I honestly hope so but until I can attest it I'll remain skeptical of that claim.
Also it's not open source until we can see the code. Making a statement without a link to the repository with the license is simply wrong.
@kanongil Huh she says it will work on "computers"? If they plan to make a desktop version, then it could indeed work on Linux smartphones.
For example I recently realized the German eID App https://www.ausweisapp.bund.de/en/open-source being packaged for Alpine means it's already on postmarketOS and it actually does run out of the box (no NFC on my phone yet for actual functionality though)
