Can't zero knowledge proof solve this problem?

Submit a zkp that you are over 18 to the website that requires it. The proof need not be tied to the identity of the user.

I personally don't think self-regulation works. It's harmful so the next best option is the government regulating it.

Doesn't matter if they can, because that's not how any of the shot callers want it done.

That is in fact how it is being done in the US and the EU.

This is how the eu standard for digital ID works already, the above post is uninformed fearmongering.
