Comment on Wafrn.net admins on age verification

lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

I seem to remember an instance somewhere had a quite great idea, they would have their admin team request a bottle of wine or similar plus a picture of the payment voucher as a form of adult identification. Their argument was that if someone can legally buy drinks then they are legally adult, and thus they could verify with that without ever requiring any sort of PII.

A receipt from alcohol purchase seems equally as valid as a govt ID. You could falsify both by just stealing someone else’s.

And until these whackadoo politicians decide they’re going to provide the tools or other guidance on exactly how to verify someone’s age, it seems appropriate.

  You could probably pick up a receipt from alcohol purchase from the ground outside any liquor store…

    And you could ask any random adult to borrow their ID, as I said.

Americans would only be able yo join once their 21 and German/Austrian people would be able yo join at 16. Hard liquor would fix that, but Americans are another issue.
