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:
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.
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.
