    Of course they would. Not only would they get their hands on data users fully voluntarily give them by using their platform, but they’d get their hands on verified IDs and quite reliable family tie information. The potential loss of users is definately worth it for them (from their perspective).

      In my opinion we would need an EU service that does the verification while sharing as little information as possible with facebooks services.

      I think the EU service should only send back, if the person is allowed to use Facebook. A single yes or no. Which could mean both, that the person is either old enough or has their parents consent.

        how would you ensure that this stays private? not just from facebook, but completely. as I see it, this would require some form of biometric authentication

          I mean yes, the verification service would know about you. But since this is a trusted service, it would be me okay. It doesn’t even have to store the verification result, if you don’t want to

            it would not be a trusted service, but at most legally. just like centralized chat scanning systems.

            It doesn’t even have to store the verification result, if you don’t want to

            “if you don’t want to” lol. you won’t decide whether they will store anything, silly. the control is theirs, cemented, the law is on their side, the political narrative will be on their side (think of the children!!), they’ll do whatever the fuck they want.

        Anything else would be in flagrant violation of the GDPR (and this too, probably, though not as flagrantly).

      Yeah… no, they already have access to all that. It’s the good ol’, if it’s gonna happen anyways might as well get behind it and get some good PR.
