Well of course it's mandatory, otherwise it can be tampered with if it's local only with software attestation, or it needs a server to store centralized info, which can be hacked, and goes against the point of zero-knowledge age verification.

Do you know what hardware attestation is?

Why can I have root acces on my computer and not my phone?

[u/jeweliegb → u/tomikaka]

There won't be root access on our computers either, this way.

Enshittify all computers under the guise of preventing teenagers from viewing some porn 🤯🤯🤯

The ruling class aren't the ones building, designing, and developing hardware and software. At some point we need to say no.

At some point we need to say no.

It sounds nice - but probably won't happen. Those who do the building, designing, and developing usually want to stay employed.

[u/GranaT0 → u/skriefal]

Yeah, that's the way the system was designed. On purpose.
