The political debate in Denmark and the EU has focused on a critical question:

How do we balance the right to free information with the need for responsibility, control, and protection - without creating a surveillance society?

When the conversation turns to age verification and digital identity, facts and myths are often mixed together:

  • It will be possible for States to track users’ behavior using the EUDI Wallet
  • If ZKPs are included, cybercriminals will remain anonymous while committing crimes online
  • eIDAS is another regulatory burden
  • Person Identification Data (PID) allows tracking. If a User presents a Person Identification Data (PID) to a bank the bank will learn the identity of the person.

 

The webinar will answer:

  • Myths and facts: What do technology, law, and reality really say about age verification?
  • eIDAS 2.0 in practice: How does the new regulation affect Denmark and the EU?
  • Privacy and technology: How can modern cryptography (ZKP) verify identity and age without storing data?
  • Society and ethics: Who should take responsibility - the state, companies, or technology?
  • Cultural balance: How do we preserve freedom online while protecting vulnerable users and democratic debate?

What is at stake?

Imagine having to log in with MitID just to read a recipe for your favorite drink.

This would effectively keep people under 18 out - but the website would also learn a lot about you. For most, this would feel like surveillance.

The alternative, a simple checkbox saying “I am over 18”, protects no one.

This illustrates the core of the debate on age verification and eIDAS 2.0:
Technological solutions involve very different trade-offs between privacy, efficiency, and trust.

In the webinar, we separate myths from facts and show how technology, law, and ethics can work together.

You will gain insight into which solutions actually work and how Denmark can use eIDAS 2.0 to implement age verification without surveillance.

Who is the webinar for?

  • Politicians and decision-makers working with digital regulation and eIDAS 2.0
  • Lawyers, compliance officers, and data security professionals seeking clarity on the legal framework
