Australia plans to require porn sites and antisocial media sites tocheckusers' ages.

If the system truly did nothing other than determine whether the user's age is above or below Nyears, I would not object to it. However, such systems are likely to demand to see official IDrecords, which would identify the user as well as check per age, or take photos, which could besaved and used to identify the user.There are plans to implementa way to use GNU Taler to check ages. Just as Taker paymentsallow users to send a store payments that it can validate but cannot use to identify them, thesame technique makes it possible for users to send a site a proof of age that it can validatebut cannot use to identify them.
