  • Plenty of ways.

    The way I would look at is a government portal that a site can send a query to “Is this person over 16?” The site would show you a code that you put into the portal (after logging in) to match that claim to your ID. That way, data is only accessed if you approve its access, the site doesn’t actually know who you are, just that you are over 16, and theoretically, the government doesn’t know who was requesting (although I can see there being issues with spam).

    This could probably be improved with a government ID app and some QR codes etc. The problem is that for this to work the Government portal has to be built with a privacy focus, not a spying on you focus.
