    Wrong. This is to violate everyone’s rights and target children. This is fucking abhorrent and needs to be stopped.

      Liberals. It’s systemic like it has always been. As cathartic as it is to remember the French Revolution, it’s not like it worked and ended stratification and imperialism. Liberalism will always seek as much control as possible, and the internet has proven to be a huge fucking problem exactly because it is so impossible to control.

        Exactly. Centrism, and the very idea that there is “moderation” to be sought between progressive ideals and back-assward conservatism, is a fucking plague. We all suffer because people don’t want to seem “extreme” and I’m fucking tired of it. We have to commit to being progressive and admit that all centrism has ever done is seek validation for and to normalize right-wing viewpoints long enough that we stop paying attention.

            Ok?

            I’m also not talking about absolutes, unless you’re participating in relativistic politics that only care about ideologies in reference to other ideologies and is a practice used by people too stupid to form their own opinions about platforms they’ve actually looked into.

    It will help the pedophile class and Israeli backed oligarchs mass surveil us more effectively

    I get my porn from illegal download sites that aren’t interested in age-verification.

    Like all Prohibition Policies, this is only going to push people toward more illegal outlets, which demonstrate more morality than the legal ones.

      Or, as is the case with a lot of sex work, push people into more dangerous situations.

    Damage children*. Let’s be honest, it’s quite clear that hiding nudity, sexual education or porn from children is generally damaging in the long term as that tends to come with development of mental disorders and weird fetishes like voyeur or sexually abusing women on trains

    They’re using type of zk-proofs that keep things private. This is completely different from the “upload your selfie” shit in UK

    Conceptually, I think this is a lot closer to where things need to be. I do understand that the application does fall short in some critical aspects of security though, and on that basis it would still need more work to be suitable.

    I understand and agree with the general sentiment of resisting the surveillance state that is dominating tech ever more in this space of ID verification, but this looks to me like it would be okay if the app was built with some very strict secure-by-design approach… which it does NOT seem to be.

    There should be stronger technical controls availble to keep kids away from the dangerous things online, and I do think governments can potentially play a positive role in that.

      Actually it doesn’t. I looked at the specs. Project seems to be open source, and uses solid cryptography to selectively reveal data you want to be revealed, and nothing more. This is absolute opposite to the UK garbage where you’re asked to send your pics to every fraudster around.

        No, the way some of the data is locally stored unprotected on the device itself is a pretty significant flaw.

          Depends what data. Zk-proofs can be produced outside of secure enclave. It’s private keys for regular cryptography that need special storage

            That’s not the only thing you need to protect, but I’m not going to go back and forth with you on this. You must know better than me.
