But even that will be spoofed. its going to be a shitshow of garbage
Governments already have systems to handle citizen IDs. They’re not perfect, and fake ones do get created, but they’re good enough. All that is needed is to connect that system to a UBI key or other device. Then websites could use cryptographic tools (signatures, ZK-SNARKS, etc) to verify that someone is over 18 without revealing their identity
Yes we have it already in BC, it is useful for proving ID for Provincial services or CRA login. However UBI for general internet also becomes dangerous should the elected government decide they don’t want trans kids exposed to trans info, or want to limit access to other news for the population.
