⚡🚨🇪🇺 ALERT - Ursula von der Leyen announced that the EU’s new age verification app is ready.

- Users can soon download it. They set it up once with a passport or national ID.

- The app proves age to websites with a simple yes or no answer only. No name, exact age, or browsing data is shared.

- Von der Leyen says it is completely “anonymous”and users cannot be tracked. (Hahhahah)

- The code is open source.

- It is based on the EU COVID certificate system.

Seven countries will add it to their digital wallets soon: France, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, and Ireland.
