  They wouldn’t see what sites you give the tokens to — unless those sites choose to phone home, for some reason.

  • You log in to the government site
  • You ask for a token to prove your age/gender/whatever
  • You copy the token
  • You go to the age/gender-restricted site
  • You provide the token
  • The restricted site asks the government site how to verify any arbitrary token (but doesn’t mention your specific token)
  • The restricted site verifies the token

  If I had to choose between a government and a private entity to store my personal governmental records (e.g. age and name), I’d 100% choose the government first.

    In turkey, the government stores data words than the company. I can be doxxed just by giving you hints of which city I live in. It’s bad

    easy to say, but that depends entirely on the government and company doesn’t it?

      As always life is complicated.
      I am talking about my personal situation.

      ^(Do I really need to put a disclaimer to all posts, that mentions all comments are from my own view and might no apply to every situation in every country?)

      Any government already has all of that information, so, no.

        I assume OP actually meant the additional info the government can get from where I authenticate with my goverment ID to a company.

        Hypothecial situation: You wanna buy a sex toy.
        If the goverment does store where and what you buy, they could punish you by withholding services.
        And they might not say why and give a bs excuse or send you on a goose hunt to do more paperwork.
        You can suspect that but probably never proof that it was the case.
