Such system is a privacy nightmare from step 1, as a demon rectangle is required to use the system.

What about those who don't have demon rectangles?

An e-ID service alone is a privacy nightmare and a demon rectangle being required to use it is a double privacy nightmare.

>the e-ID service gets no information that identifies the website that requires your age to be verified
Different websites would have different age requirements and therefore the service could take an educated guess as to what site you are signing up to (even signed up at x time is enough, if it is possible to poll or exhaustively determine which accounts were signed-up for at what time).


If you don't want children to access a website, the only effective method is to make accessing the website require knowing how to use a computer, which will deny access to most children (and many intentionally unskilled adults too, but that's a feature).
