Ummm, no:
»We could do something similar here for verifying that a user is 18 or older. We would need existing identity verification services (e.g., ID.me in the USA) to vend PrivacyPass tokens that can be redeemed on third party websites.«
There is no way the tracking and linking of such tokens could be prevented, for sure. Or to make me trust that such a service doesn't. They might be ordered to, under some jurisdictions, coupled with a gag order.

@katzenberger If we take the matter of jurisdictions into account (something Soatok talks about I think right in the post that precedes the AV one) then I have a rather cynical opinion: * In a trustworthy jurisdiction, this isn't an issue in the first place because they either know what they're doing or a mistake will be properly remedied. * In an untrustworthy jurisdiction (US, Russia, DPRK, etc.) this is a moot point because they'll either bend it to suit their cause or won't care about rules in the first place. Not to mention, if you get an order and don't comply, you're already 50 shades of fucked anyway. @endolexi @Tutanota
