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?
This is called a nonce.
Which as a Brit is a really bad name for anything used to access porn.
We could change it to being called a Mountbatten-Windsor but that’s a much lengthier way to say the same thing.
