Lots of bias in this thread. But maybe we can have a technical discussion?

I'm not into this topic, so maybe someone else can answer this: How "zero-knowledge" is this actually?

As far as I understand, there are three parties here: 1. Me, the user; 2. The site I want to access; 3. The attestor (google? my government?). What do they know about each other?

Does the site know who I am?

Does the site know who my attestor is (and therefore, for example, that it doesn't like Winnie-the-Poo memes)?

Does the attestor know what site or kind of content I want to visit (and therefore e.g. if he agrees with it)?

Does the attestor know who I am?

Do I always know who the site and attestor are, and when this proof happens?
