    It sounds like they’re using MitID, the Danish government personal verification software. It’s completely ubiquitous here, and it’s linked to your CPR number (like a social security number but more functional).

    The apps, as far as I understand it, won’t know anything other than “yes they verified they’re over 18” from MitID.

    I understand and definitely feel the surveillance fear, but this feels well worth it to me for less brainwashing of children by companies like Twitter and FB
