The EU plans to introduce legislation aimed at protecting children from the dangers of social media, prompted by ongoing concerns from member states and citizens.
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.
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.

I mean, it still discriminates against non Danish citizens/those without ID for any reason/children
