Government provided open id service which guarantees age. Website gets trusted authority signed token witch contains just the age. We can do this safely. We have the technology. They could even do it only once on registration.
Digital id's exist already in the EU, and many countries run a sign on service already. We aren't far from this.
Why not just look up how it actually works in the real world instead of hypotheticals
No. I don't want governments to know what social media I use, nor do I want social media to know what country I'm a citizen of. I don't want any connection between the two.
I'm pretty sure they all know this already.
Sure, but I don't want to hand it over on a silver platter, especially for my kids.
