I'm not a fan of age checks. There is a reason Google is offering this (for free).

As always with tracking, the value is in the metadata.

The knowledge if you are or are not above a certain age is already privacy invasive but not that relevant for tracking or ads.

But with ZKP at least you won't need to send your creditcard, copy of ID and address to the 3rd party to verify.

They already know everything about you. They are already tracking you.
