The EU age verification app is presented as “completely anonymous”. The idea is to use Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) cryptography.

But currently, the EU app does not have ZKP functionality. More importantly, the app is designed to always function without ZKP. Even if fully developed ZKP technology could be implemented in the future, it would remain an optional feature that countries may choose to disable and that the EU could remove at any time.

“Danish pension fund Akademikerpension said on Friday it had placed #SpaceX on its portfolio exclusion list ahead of ‌the company's initial public offering, citing concerns about the governance structure and what it said was an overvalued stock.”

Smart move, #Denmark!

Ive given up on journal publishing due to the commodified AI partnerships that publishing houses have now entered into (no concern for author IP). Im now going to write more serious articles published on my blog, plus PDF format on #Zenodo. Ive uploaded a few past posts and theyve already been downloaded. This formalises the work with a citation doi, not just a blog url. It preserves the work in a significant knowledge database.
