ZEKNOP Initiative @zeknop.org · 24/02/2026Apple just rolled out age assurance tools for developers. What Apple did well: → Age verification at the platform level, not left to each app → Parental approval required for significant changes → Automatic blocking of 18+ apps for minors 1/3 111

Technicky to řeší ZEKNOP Safe Circles, který navrhujeme: rodič definuje důvěryhodné kontakty dítěte (kryptograficky ověřené okruhy). Žádné šmírování obsahu, žádný upload dokladů, E2EE zachováno. Open standard, ne sledovací infrastruktura. @zeknop.org 2202

ZEKNOP Initiative @zeknop.org · 29/01/2026EFF is right: Bluesky should launch E2EE DMs. ZEKNOP #SafeCircles solves this by topology, not scanning: 1. Verify Age (Zero-Knowledge) 2. Prevent unauthorized adults from messaging kids 3. Enable E2EE for the rest Privacy and Safety are compatible. It's just math. 🧩 #EncryptItAlready #ZEKNOP 032
ZEKNOP Initiative @zeknop.org · 29/01/2026Hi @jay.bsky.team Just sent a proposal to press@ regarding a decentralized alternative to KWS for Age Assurance. We built ZEKNOP, a Zero-Knowledge protocol that solves the Australia/Mississippi compliance dilemma without compromising Bluesky's values. 📧 Subject: Age Assurance for the AT Protocol 120

But that's what Zuckerberg must tell investors to save face after the Metaverse flop, as Meta has already poured billions into it. Maybe invest in something that is less privacy-invasive? 42675

Public domain. It uses Zero-Knowledge proofs to solve exactly this problem. It verifies you are 15+ without the platform ever seeing your ID or birthdate. 3/6 1102
