    It’s always interesting to me when I hear people who distrusts governments more than private companies.

    Maybe because I’m from Denmark, but it sounds so backwards.

    If I were from the US tho, I would think the same. Or like “i’m fucked regardless”

      I don’t trust governments that mandate the usage of private American services such as iOS/Google to access the internet

        That’s a fair point.

        My argument only applied to the age verification in the Danish app, which doesnt share the ID to any server.

        The point is that you get a verification by logging in with another 2FA app, whos only job is to verify with the government server, that you are indeed a Danish citizen with official documentation.

        Then the other app recieves that token that only contains an age group with a true flag. This token is then shared with the private companies.

        As a stand alone solution to age verification that everyone needs to use, this is pretty well thought out.

        If a Linux phone then comes around that everyone would buy, you could do it better, yes.
