I'm talking about identity token services.

You're saying the real solution is that we bring in a private, 3rd-party company to start checking our IDs to access websites now?

I was asked if this problem can be solved in an anonymous manner. I gave a solution that is pretty anonymous and fairly cheap.

I am not actually advocating for it. I'm just saying how it's possible to solve it given those constraints.

It’s millions of third party companies checking ids. Anywhere that sells alcohol or tobacco could do it.
