Good in theory, but in practice... how is this going to be enforced? The only ways I can think of involve excessive invasion of privacy, again, under the banner of "Save The Children", again.

Plenty of EU countries have digital ID apps already and provide services like signing documents using that ID. Adding something like zero-knowledge proof with passkeys-like UI probably isn’t that much harder than putting people on the moon.
I’d love if every mass social media was required to provide „this is an actual verified human behind this account” flag on every account because we’re about to face an age where trust is the most valuable currency around.
The only official ID apps I've ever seen only run exclusively on android and ios. Meaning you can't partake in any digital governmental services without being a google or apple customer. Which seems at least flawed, if not down right illegal.
One has to weight what has a higher societal cost and if one has a choice at all if we want our societies to survive. Participation in big tech social media and watching porn is not a human right.
I'm tentatively hopeful it will use the pre-existing government SSO, which would be the ideal solution, since no data would be transferred to the website or third parties.
