    The world and the internet are so low on trust, I kind of wish there was some entity we trusted.

    Some website where you could upload a photo, and people would actually know for sure that all the site is going to do is compare the photo to an ID, verify you’re over a certain age, and send a simple boolean “Yes” to the website that wanted to know if you were over-age. Or, to somehow know that your account is human and not a duplicate.

    We could do a lot with that, but as it stands, no person or entity can ever really be trusted with that kind of data; I think most wouldn’t even trust the same governments that issue those IDs.

      It’s simple, librarians or even gas station clerks look at your license and they give you a code that you can use idk 10 times for account signups.

      No scanning or tracking of who is requesting. Just make it an ID check like buying cigarettes

            No, millennials’ and zoomers’ inability to actually parent their crotch goblins is why we can’t have nice things.

            They can’t say no to their kids so they have to bitch and moan at the companies to do it for them, which results in adults getting fucked over.

      The government already knows who you are! No need for a third party

      Just give you a fucking oauth login and have websites use that for age checks.

      some entity we trusted.

      We can trust each other, just takes a little chemical and/or psychological manipulation.
