What's wrong with EU age verification? (Nothing)

https://blog.vrypan.net/2026/06/29/260629-whats-wrong-with-eu-age-verification/image.png
There is a lot of chatter about online age verification. When the criticism turns to the EU's approach, it tends to be either uninformed or deliberately misleading. If you think age verification should not exist at all, the technical details won't matter to you. No implementation will be acceptable, because the objection is to age gates themselves, not to any particular mechanism. A ...
