@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchangeEm :official_verified: There are technical solutions without mass surveillance.

But I am not optimistic enough to believe those will be demanded.

Specifically because of the lack of surveillance, and the lack of monopoly protection for big tech.

Pretty sure big tech lobbyists are making sure the worst approaches possible get put into law. Not because they are evil per se, but because it strengthens their monopolies.

@divVerent @Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: No there are not. This is a fundamental fact of mathematical logic. Given a proposed age verification system you can prove that it's either trivially bypassed (doesn't actually verify age) or violates key privacy properties.

Em's point is spot-on. If you think of this as a problem to be solved, you are going to be wrong and you are going to be a useful fool for fascists.
