Ursula von der Leyen just announced that the European age verification app is “technically ready”, touting the lack of data sharing, while the app’s website still describes its zero-knowledge proof implementation as “experimental” and as not having yet been peer-reviewed. Perhaps something needs updating by the European Commission?
Many questions remain, because saying “no excuses anymore” is easy if an app hasn’t even been launched formally and its use is not mandatory for EU citizens. I think many will be waiting to see what this means in practice.
