I've been really enjoying all these articles proposing solutions to anonymous age verification, mainly because most of them are written as if this has never been implemented in the real world. German IDs support age verification that just returns a yes/no response to the question "is this user above the age of 18," and not a single service in the entire country supports it.

Anonymous age verification isn't a technical problem to be solved, as it's already been solved, it's a societal problem in that either the companies or the politicians pushing for age verification don't want to support it.
