If they did this here, I’d just stop using bluesky. I’m 41. But I have no interest in verifying ages online. We’ve all seen how poorly companies handle intetnal security.

This isn’t about age verification. It’s about getting your ID and tying your (probably illegal but yet to be proven) online activity to it. Much like the firewall of China.
All wrapped up nicely in the disguise of “age verification”

If it works the way they claim it is indeed very private.
It doesn’t.
According to whom?
Is the system opaque? Does someone else hold the private encryption keys? Could unencrypted data leak from the company and expose users?
If any of those answers are “yes”, then assume it’s already compromised by a government and unsafe.
