Apple secured the door. But who's inside the room remains uncontrolled. Age verification answers: "How old are you?" The next question is: "What protections apply to you?" Apple moved the industry forward today. The next step is what happens after the door. #ageverification 3/3

What it doesn't solve: → Once a child is inside an app, in-app communication often remains unmoderated → Age data is shared with developers, but mandatory contact controls don't follow → "Declared age range" is a signal, not enforcement 2/3

Apple 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

„Zapojení rodičů" — přesně. 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

Spain just escalated the Age Verification debate. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced a ban on social media for under-16s, explicitly demanding: → Real barriers that work, not just checkboxes. 1/5

EFF 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

Speaking of timing: @eff.org just launched #EncryptItAlready calling for E2EE DMs. We know "Grooming Prevention" is the main excuse to delay encryption. ZEKNOP #SafeCircles removes it. Prevent contact at the protocol level (Topology), so you don't have to scan content. Safety by Design. 🧩

💯 Agree. Defense is not enough. That's why we are pushing #ZEKNOP as an open standard directly to regulators in the EU (LIBE) and Australia. "Safety" does not require "Surveillance". If a privacy-preserving technical alternative exists, intrusive laws become much harder to justify.

ZEKNOP Initiative @zeknop.org · 29/01/2026

Verified adults cannot contact kids unless authorized. Safety by design, not surveillance. 🧩 Let's encrypt everything.

Huge support for #EncryptItAlready! The main blocker for E2EE DMs isn't tech, it's "Safety Compliance" (Grooming prevention). #ZEKNOP #SafeCircles solves this. Instead of scanning messages (breaking privacy), we verify the relationship.

Hi @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

Actually, a future WITH smart glasses is hard to imagine. 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?

Allow me to introduce @zeknop.org It’s an open protocol I’ve been working on. No vendor lock-in. 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

French Fellas, I need a translation check. We're sending a proposal to the French Senate about a privacy-preserving alternative to the social media ban for minors. → @zeknop.org I have the text translated, but I need a native eye to proofread it before we hit send.

We are building the open protocol for Safe Spaces - allowing age verification and bot protection using Zero-Knowledge Proofs, without ever exposing user data or breaking encryption. Privacy by Design. GDPR by Code. Open Source.
