    Zero-knowledge proofs exist, where a person can prove one fact without revealing other facts about themselves. If there were a will to do it, governments could figure out a way for people to prove their age to a website without revealing their identity. The problem is that it was never supposed to be about proving your age, because what governments and corporations actually want is your identity for surveillance purposes. Proof of age and protection of children was just the cover story they used to promote the destruction of online anonymity. The goal is surveillance and control, not protection of children.

      The EU age verification app is designed to not reveal any information other than the user’s age being over 18. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/faqs/eu-age-verification-solution

        And is there any source code that can inequivocally demonstrate that? No. Then the only rational thing is to believe that they’re just lying and selling snake oil as they always do.

          Ok, cool. What’s wrong with the source code?

              The apps have not been released, but even so you can see the source code for each prototype on their GitHub. Please try to find out about stuff before you make claims. All the source code that exists is available for your perusal. https://ageverification.dev/Setup
