Traditional ID upload verifications are a broken system: now users can spin up hyperrealistic images of false IDs with just a few prompts.
Self solves this without sacrificing user privacy by reading the NFC chip rather than the image.

EU's Age Verification app claims "world's highest privacy standards" but:
→ The token is secure, but passport images and selfies are saved unencrypted
→ The server can't confirm a real passport was used
→ The ZK privacy tech was added as an afterthought
Just use Self.

The EU is pressing hard member states to roll out a new age-verification app as quickly as possible, targeting the end of this year They say the app works in a simple, privacy-focused way: >Users download it once >scan their passport or national ID to confirm their age >receive an anonymous digital credential. >This credential proves to websites or apps that the user meets a required age Several nations, including France, Italy, Spain and others, are already testing the system. Considering the app demo got hacked in under 2 minutes with a mobile phone, these are terrible news, I can see a massive data breach of personal info

The UK’s push for online child safety matters, but the age-verification method is crucial.
A nationwide ID upload requirement risks massive data breaches, which is exactly why privacy-first verification is necessary.

'We are committed to action so be in no doubt about that, there is more to follow' Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson spoke to #BBCBreakfast after the government said it will 'impose some form of age or functionality restrictions for children under 16' regardless of the outcome of the consultation on a social media ban in the UK bbc.co.uk/news

Over the weekend, Self CEO and co-founder @RegenRene wrote about why the agentic web needs an identity layer built on proofs rather than passwords.
Read the article to learn more. ↓
Rene ◘@RegenRene
English
Agents carry your passwords in plaintext. Every tool they connect to is another target.
With Self, you generate a cryptographic proof on your own device. The agent carries that proof, not your password or your PII. The merchant verifies it without ever seeing your private data.
