How could digitial age verification be possibly implemented with privacy in mind? (self.programming)

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?

I believe they were referring to last year's trend of blockchain being introduced to everything unnecessarily (as a marketing buzzword, similar to AI).

I got the joke. What I didn’t get is why it was even remotely relevant to the discussion at hand since ZK is used a lot in crypto but it’s also used everywhere else. It muddied the waters and made the joke somewhat nonsensical, IMO. Perhaps OP was unaware of how prevalent ZK is in the crypto world…

Oh well. Have a good day.

You say you got the joke, but everything else you said suggests you didn't. Just to be clear I wasn't being critical of your reply, I was mocking the cryptobros the other poster mentioned.

It was a vapid, low effort, hiveminded Reddit joke.

looks at post history I mean lazy as my joke was, now I understand how you got so upset about it.

Only last year? I thought it was the whole last decade
