Many might've seen the Australian ban of social media for <16 y.o with no idea of how to implement it. There have been mentions of "double blind age verification", but I can't find any information on it.

Out of curiosity, how would you implement this with privacy in mind if you really had to?

God I hate cryptography so much for making me feel stupid every time I read anything about it.

I want to feel smat!

    I'm not sure what these things have to do with each other. How exactly would cryptography have prevented SBF, you know, a crypto bro.

    I get what you're trying to say, but I'm not sure it makes sense.

    I mean, that's literally every field you're not an expert in. And most of us are experts in less than one field.

    You don't know about medicine, car engines, electricity or tax laws, you have your guys for that. Even in our field, we have guys for databases, OSes, networking, because quite frankly nobody understands those really.

    So I'm not sure what the point of your comment is. That having experts is good? Yeah, I guess? Did we need to have that reinforced?
