Many might've seen the Australian ban of social media for <16 y.o with no idea of how to implement it. There have been mentions of "double blind age verification", but I can't find any information on it.

Out of curiosity, how would you implement this with privacy in mind if you really had to?

A joke answer, but with the kernel of truth - IRL age verification often requires a trusted verifier (working under threat of substantial penalty) but often doesn't require that verifier to maintain any documentation on individual verification actions

As in, you have to roll up to an "age verification bureau" and say "I'd like to sign up to $platform, please verify that I'm of legal age to use it and tell them so", then you buy a "token" that you can enter upon signing up? Am I understanding that correctly?

Sounds quite a lot like zero-knowledge proof
