EU chief calls for a bloc-wide push on an age verification app to protect children online. If enforced, users will have to prove their age to access legally restricted sites.
At the core it’s just a website, if you are able to get online to require an age check, you’ll be able to access the system to generate the tickets - aka, electronically signed certificates.
You don’t give it to a website, read the article ffs, you download an app and that is what will “verify” your age, they did a trial run during their Covid experiment and now comes version 2.0, which will most likely have a backdoor for surveillance.
You show your ID only to the central authority, which is your government. Who gave that ID to you in the first place.
They then issue you a ticket that says “we verify this dude is 18”, and you give that to the website.
So this will exclude everyone without a (NFC capable?) phone from accessing social media or adult sites?? Absolutely insane.

[EDIT] Oh, and the phone app should AFAIK, work offline, kinda in the same way a 2FA code app does.
I guarantee you this will not work on Linux because they also want this to be an identity verification app.
Fuck off with this shit. No one wants fascists telling me.what I can and can’t see
