    The EU is planning on introducing mandatory e-identification for everything online (1). This is just laying the foundations (for the children!!!)

      Theoretically the German id card at least is capable of providing just the age and just that in an easy to control and secure fashion over NFC.

      In practice there is exactly one shitty smartphone app available to interact with other shitty smartphone apps to give them absolutely everything available on the card.

      And it doesn’t even work.

        Yeah, this is what governments keep saying to critics: “We’re only reading the age, no other info. Don’t worry about it. We will definitely 100% not read any other info”
