To be clear, I’m not advocating for online age verification. I’m very much against it in any form. I’m just curious from a technical standpoint if it’s possible somehow to construct an accurate age verification system that doesn’t compromise a user’s privacy? i.e., it doesn’t expose the person’s identity to anyone nor leaves behind a paper trail that can be traced to that person?

    We’ll need a way to confirm that your government ID and PII is actually deleted on Age Verifier’s platform.

    IMO this is the hardest part to ensure in a transparent manner.

    And I can also see an issue where one guy who keeps creating different Age Verifier accounts, verifying that the account is an adult, and then selling that account to people.

    The token needs to be time and device sensitive. Should be possible via a hash
