EFF launches Age Verification Hub

I am disappointed to find no mentions of zero knowledge proofs or any other indications that we wont have to trust anyone with this task.

We have the technology to do age verification without revealing any more information to the site and without the verification authority finding out what sites we are browsing. However, most people are ignorant of it.

If we don't push for the use of privacy preserving technology we wont get it and we will get more tracking. You cannot defeat age verification on the internet, age verification is already a feature of our culture. The only way out is to ensure that privacy preserving technologies are mandated.

Everyone, including politicians are intimately aware of Zero Knowledge Proofs.

Google even open-sourced technology to enable it: https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/opening-up-ze...

The politicians don't want Zero Knowledge Proof because it prevents the mass-surveillance of internet users. This is all deliberate.
