What if you don't have a phone? Or what if your phone runs a custom rom and can't pass google's attlestation?

"Google, google everywhere. It's attestation is gonna be a nightmare."

Idk I created this just right now lol.

But on a serious note, Maybe check out my comment on something known as the android_translation_layer with flatpak to see if that might help to run that app atleast in linux.

Then you can't use this method of identification, just like you can't use it now. Surely it won't be the only way to identify yourself online. If this provides a frictionless way to do this for 95% of people then it's already a huge win.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

No, this is worse because it solidifies Apple/Google's duopoly over the smart phone market even more than it already is.

Not only that, but having this locked behind something that works for 95% of users means the other 5% will never have enough leverage for any other implementations to be approved. Which is absolutely unacceptable for such an essential feature like age verification.

The requirement for age id is already stupid.

The target, which are the children who access "forbidden" websites without authorization is likely to be lower than amount of people who won't be able to access due to those narrow specs.

Why can't we continue with an open web standard? We should have complete interoperability regardless of whether I'm using a google smartphone or a custom os I wrote in my garage or bsd or nixos. That is the entire point of web standards: to create the ability to communicate with one-another regardless of system design, so long as standards are properly implemented.

This is a general computing crisis.

If you don't have a phone, you cannot create a new Google or Vk (social network) account today. I expect there will be more things you won't be able to do if you don't want to leak your information.

The EU wallet does use an open standard, and the wallet app itself is developed in public as open source.
