Dan Gillmor writes about this item: "The push for an 'age verification' requirement on the Internet is 1% aimed at protecting children and 99% aimed at controlling speech. It effectively bans anonymity, for starters. " The website itself expresses "serious concerns about the suitability, proportionality, and negative impact on fundamental rights of current age verification proposals." My feeling is that there ought to be a way to create a zero-knowledge proof of age. Though the failure to implement such a system seems to vindicate Gillmor's argument.
