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.
Just yesterday McDonalds had their entire database of applications compromised because someone tried the password 123456.
Bluesky would be dropped instantly.
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.
