It bothers me so much that a ZKP system is entirely possible, and no one will just do the first step of setting that up.
Eh, Denmark is. They are building exactly a ZKP system.
Britain has chosen to not make this a legal requirement so it is possible to tie back age verification with who verified. That makes it a lot more suspect.
Sorry, I mean just for the UK, US, and apparently China also.
Fortunately, the EU isn't going down the same path, and has Estonia, Finland, Denmark and the Netherlands as guides. And to just do this in the right order and do step 1: sensible digital ID system.
