So if we secure personal devices of children, with simple, standardized "child-owned" marker, we're basically back to 80s/90s, where children could occasionally get access to adult material via friends or irresponsible adults.

In my opinion that's more than enough, especially when you compare it to requiring everyone to identify themselves. It may be ZPK on the tin, but likely it will be close-source, corporation owned implementation, which will have holes. Then in a few years we will learn that Meta exploited them for years to sell your soul for ad money.

Btw - students occasionally steal teacher's cars. Should we block engine start with ID check too?

The solution I proposed was the opposite of people identifying themselves.

Zero knowledge proofs. Enabling trusted verification without revealing identity is exactly what cryptographers designed them for.

We should be using them everywhere. Like end-to-end encryption they provide massive privacy, security, and trust (I.e. ability to verify intended disclosure) improvements.

Or we can complain about parents, the ones who care enough to ask for better help, while legislatures keep passing identity revealing anti-privacy rules. That seems to be the direction many are taking here. Complain, condescendingly, don’t solve anything. Repeat.

You were waiting so long to jump at me with ZKP you didn't even read my comment, where I addressed them...
