Many might’ve seen the Australian ban of social media for <16 y.o with no idea of how to implement it. There have been mentions of “double blind age verification”, but I can’t find any information on it.

Out of curiosity, how would you implement this with privacy in mind if you really had to?

    It can’t. It requires invasion of privacy to verify information about the individual they don’t have the right to access.

    Digital age verification goes against privacy. Let’s not delude ourselves into thinking it can.
