Step 1 could be seen to have some justification. But any lawmaker with a functioning brain would immediately realize that Step 2 will cause a radical change on the Internet.
They aren’t saying that you get an unlinkable verifiable claim (Web3) that you’re over 18, to access ALL SITES. That would be somewhat reasonable. No, they say you’ll get an ID that is linked to you and all sites will be able to know who you are and cross correlate all data on you, to save the children. I mean… who needs third party cookie blocking at that point haha
Web3 doesn't feel like the right framework here? Generally the types of tokens used in the "web3" world are inherently traceable.
Something similar to Passkeys (https://developer.apple.com/passkeys/) would be more appropriate, generating a new key pair for every website accessed. In order to provide the attestation of age, the public key provided could be signed by a trusted authority. (not that I like any of this, but something like this would be the least objectionable implementation)
The current proposals isn't to roll it out for mature sites, but any site that might possibly allow user generated content. Think of e-commerce sites with product reviews for example.
Step 2: roll it out for all sites
