That’s not entirely true. It’s only impossible without governments working toward it.

We have plenty of tech options to develop a secure way to have a government-issued digital ID that is able to only share selected information, like your age. But that has to come from governments, not companies needing to verify your age.

The best part is that it can be private, as in: The government doesn’t need to know who requested your age, and the website doesn’t need to know anything else than your age and which government is confirming it.

And the tech required isn’t even necessarily new or recent.

Winners until the very end!

Be careful with being explained politics from other countries, even sourced. If you asked a big part of the french population what are LFI’s politics they’d tell you all sort of horrors that the media baselessly accuses them of simply because they are dangerous to the capitalistic system we live in. The formerly mainstream french “left” hates them too and always has.

Unfortunately more and more media all around the world is owned by more or less hidden oligarch wannabes.

I don’t know swedish politics either, but I wouldn’t trust random strangers on the internet to tell me what they are.
