The offline version proposed doesn’t even work. If the government issues untraceable “I’m an adult” cards there’s nothing stopping someone from acquiring one and immediately selling it to a minor. There’s also realistically nothing stopping someone from acquiring multiple and selling them to minors. “Oops, I lost my adult card again. I need a new one.” The solution is of course to make them revocable which means traceable.
The same applies online/digitally except that you can very likely distribute the same ID to many minors without getting a new one allocated.
I’m in the “we should protect kids online” camp, but I am not sure there’s a real way to do it without compromising privacy for everyone.
