You didn't answer who is collating all that arrest-targeting information.

It isn't news that adults can be irresponsible with age-verification credentials.

Letting children use adult's credit cards isn't criminalized either.

Adult sites not default-serving underage users does not require fine-grained surveillance or criminalizing clueless parents/adults.



The government, obviously, when the sites call it to check their tokens


You are describing strong surveillance. Exactly the problem ZKP (or similar tech) solves/avoids.

And on the other issue, requiring sites to verify ages before serving adult material, isn't the same as criminalizing shared/mishandled age verification credentials. Its a mitigation issue, not a nuclear threat.

I am left wondering if you had any coherent point to make.
