            Sure, just echoing his wording to why “nothing of value” was lost as the person sees the platform as such.

      Is there other platforms that are out there estimating our ages?

      I know the whole age gate thing - being in the UK, believe me, I know. I’ve just never had a service go “we can’t show you content. No, don’t tell us your age, we’ll work it out from the data we’ve collected from you”.

      That’s a whole new one for me, I must admit.

        I’ve got no idea, but it’s not the estimation of age it’s that the EU now requires all sites offering adult content to confirm age. the idea of an AI estimating age over having to provide physical ID seems safer than the way most are doing it or going to do it.

    Does the EU already have legislation demanding the age verification? I’ve so far only heard about the UK‘s Online Safety Act being effective since last week, but not about anything in the EU (yet).

        At least the EU is somewhat privacy friendly here (excluding the Google tie in) compared to whatever data sharing and privacy mess the UK has obligated people to do with sharing ID pictures or selfies.

        Proving you are 18+ through zero knowledge proof (i.e. other party gets no more information than being 18+) where the proof is generated on your own device locally based on a government signed date of birth (government only issues an ID, doesn’t see what you do exactly) is probably the least privacy intrusive way to do this, barring not checking anything at all.
