Many might’ve seen the Australian ban of social media for <16 y.o with no idea of how to implement it. There have been mentions of “double blind age verification”, but I can’t find any information on it.

Out of curiosity, how would you implement this with privacy in mind if you really had to?

    That’s when you add an extra point of failure validator.
    Server 1 generates a token for server 2 to validate.
    You send the token to server 2, who validates and generates you a token for server 3. Then finally server 3 validates the token and grants/denies your access.

    The more nodes you have across different countries, the harder it is for the last server to discover your identity.

    Definitely not without its flaws, but I wonder if a decentralised node setup similar to the tor network could work.
