Age Verification in the European Union: The Commission’s Age Verification App

By / Blog / ,

EU's Age Verification App aims to verify users' ages via digital wallets but poses privacy and accessibility concerns. It relies on various methods (eIDs, biometric data), but many marginalized groups may be excluded, risking their access to online services. Privacy measures in the app are not mandatory, and the reliance on zero-knowledge proofs and verification regulations may not adequately protect user data. The initiative could hinder democratic access while attempting to safeguard children online. More robust regulations and equitable access solutions are needed.

Digital Identities and the Future of Age Verification in Europe

By / Blog / ,

EU age verification trends push digital identities for user safety, but raise privacy concerns. Proposals may mandate age checks, risking free expression and contradicting children's rights. Current laws suggest age evaluations without explicit requirement. Upcoming digital identity wallets planned for 2026 could be used for age verification, potentially expanding beyond intended limits, creating further privacy issues. EFF critiques this approach, urging to prioritize user rights.
