Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google

It can be like buying alcohol in a store. They look at you and see your age. Or if it’s unclear, the store clerk asks your idea and promptly forgets all about it. Except you’re not buying alcohol but a login for some age verifier.

That’s a worst of both worlds solution: it makes it trivial to deanonymise people, and it doesn’t solve the replay attacks.

Maybe buying alcohol works differently where you live.

They ask for ID card indeed, making it super easy to just make a copy. On top of that, your payment details are stored. You’re on camera. Etc.
Super easy to automate deanonymization. (1).
