Lately there has been a lot of controversy about age verification and it's implementation in places such as UK and US.
The main critic to this mechanism is due being done through facial recognition or a government ID which are privacy invasive.
So here is my question as someone who comes from IT, wouldn't it be possible to create a device which just gives out true or false depending if the person is of age, given some kind of piece of DNA (hair, blood, nails) ?
I known there is carbon dating, but from what I understand is a bit of complicated process.
The human body however shows it's age visually and I would be interested to know if genetically there are some signs as well that could be somewhat used in a automatic process.
Again I come from IT, just curious about the implications and your takes on the problem.
Tbh honest I am against the idea of blocking gov blocking websites.
Parents should be responsible for their kids online presence and exploration using existing tools for such control. For that though people would have to know how to use such tools and unfortunately many do not and there is a lack of programs to teach the parents how to use them.
But I agree with u I am overcomplicating things, was just letting my mind wander and now I am realising that a simple gov generated token or a key with which we could generate such token and pass it to website would be the easier and most logical way like a user pointed out.
This whole ID and face recon honestly could be replaced such system and I would be OK with it.
