   in order for your computer to disobey you, it must be obeying someone else. that's the catch.

     @freezenet
     If it uses zero-knowledge proofs such that the websites only know that the user is over, say, 18 and nothing more, what's the problem with it?
     I feel like there must be a catch given how much it is pushed by companies and governments, but I don't know what that catch might be.
     AFAIK ZK proofs are only weak in the direction of verification (they are probabilistic) not secrecy?
