    But getting that information from the USP or the site would require a warrant. Not to mention that the site doesn’t have to know your real identity either.

    And the whole point of this exercise is to ensure that you don’t have to provide any document to the site.

    What I mean by the site that’s requesting this, is exactly that: you need to prove to a site that you’re above a certain age. For that, the site redirects you to the proxy that redirects you to the eID site, with a request to confirm that you’re above a certain age.

    The site has fulfilled its legal obligation to check your age, but doesn’t have to know your identity, and the government doesn’t have to know what site you’re visiting.

    I feel like you’re misunderstanding the scenario we’re discussing.
