I already only used open source products for decades now, and the Internet is just a network, you can use different networks, different protocols if you want, even embedded on current Internet protocols, or maybe use even something that completely sidesteps the Internet
Either way, the Internet has mostly been a failure
I dont mind if its implemented like it has been in germany for a while with eID. With an open source desktop or mobile app that uses NFC to talk to your ID and can be used to verify your age online to a 3rd party without leaking your birthday or any other personal info to them.
I dont know why there is so much screaming about age verification going on when these cryptographically provable anonymous systems already exist. Remember that “stop killing games” EU campaign with a million signatures? That also used exactly this system.
I would prefer not having any verification, but as that is not gonna happen at this point, i think its more important to focus on HOW to implement it. I dont understand why these companies like discord arent being forced to use these existing verification systems. Those arent legally provable at all so why arent they being sued for this?
Nostr is one of them, but I’d learn how to set that up first before using Primal.
Also, Nostr means Notes and Stuff on Relays, and is Free Software. This is the wild west of the internet, from what I was notified by my producer, Neigsendoig.
Stop using the Internet. Seriously.

It’s very unlikely that most states will use a truly open source solution, especially when big tech makes it so easy not to. Case in point: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-doc-technical-specification/discussions/19
Very nice thread, thanks.
If they don’t they will make it very attractive for people to just ignore those age checked sites and build their own protocols that do work
stop using internet and we can go back spending more time in farms, book, etc. what a peaceful day ✨
what different networks or protocols does exist?
