Will they not just argue that you could share the assertion, and hence we need a 'trusted' verfication point to establish it is actually you in posession of the zkp token, right now. So turn on that smartphone camera right now and obediently follow our biometric verfication instructions ...


Or even simpler - they can just claim to implement it but still store your data just because.

Doesn't seem like government is taking any steps here to try and regulate anything anymore. Possibly not ever again.


There is literally no way of us knowing if Google hasn't chosen to cheat during the ZKP protocol or not. Zero chance.


Maybe, but we should force them to make that argument after we demonstrate age verification doesn't require identifying ourselves to every website. It would reveal they aren't seeking pragmatic solutions.
