The truth is out there is what people say about big foot, the flat earth, UFOs, and lizard people.
You have to pay monthly for devices that access the internet at all. It doesn’t seem unreasonable that YOU not everyone should have to pay for something that is safe for your 8 year old rather than just getting your 8 year old an Ipad and wifi. This forum isn’t safe for an 8 year old.
Regardless, you have made no comment on the idea that I want it done with zero knowledge proof.
Because there is no indication that that is ever going to happen. Either nothing with happen. A few hardcore porn sites will get age gating because they want to do legit business whilst others hosted in other countries will do nothing ensuring your teen still finds boobs when he searches OR we will go full on 1984 and this will mostly be used to suppress the entire free and open internet in the US.
Your fantasy that this will be done safely is just an indication that you are stupid.
The privacy-preserving promise of this “double blind” method has inspired various countries to further explore and develop ZKP-based age verification solutions. In the European Union (EU), a ZKP age verification protocol is being developed as part of a European-wide EU Digital Identity (EUID) framework. However, some organizations have pushed back against linking age verification tools to digital identity solutions, citing concerns over potential misuse and user privacy. While the EUID solution is set to be released by the end of 2026, the EU launched an interim age verification app in the meantime.
Right now, yes. But this is all still very new. There was a point in time where all internet traffic was HTTP. Would you have called me stupid for suggesting internet traffic would be encrypted in the future? My point is research is being done, and it can be done securely. If it can be done securely, it seems most arguments against it would no longer be applicable. There would still be the issue of convenience, but this whole 1984 idea would not apply here. There are so many other area’s that are more concerning as far as ideas that 1984 goes. The current US government is constantly denying reality and manipulating history. Controlling harmful internet pornography should not be lumped in with them to dismiss valid concerns and actual research with legitimate secure solutions

So no country in the world has such a system that actually protects privacy in practice
