This paper (70 page PDF) recommends "the EUDI Wallet, to be introduced in all EU Member States by 2026, be designed in Germany so that it is available to all citizens aged 16 and over and enables data minimal age verification." I imagine EUDI wallets designed elsewhere might have the same capacity, but that's not the point. The question is whether a digital wallet can be used to (anonymously) verify age. I think it can, in the main. The key incentive here is to ensure adults do not share their wallets with children, and if wallets are tied to sensitive information (like, say, bank account access) then that incentive exists. Then the wallet need only attest (a) this is a valid EUDI wallet (which can be confirmed by a third party) and (b) the bearer is over 16 years of age. Via IDW.

"We must force TikTok to rethink its model," says the commission, which heard testimony from teenagers and the families of young victims.
