So theoretically, for 'online age verification' issues currently going on, governments can create apps that allow a user to retrieve their data from government database anonymously (zk-proofs for authentication and PIR for anonymous data requests) and then be able to authenticate that they are over the legal age in any required website through another zk-proof operation (so website doesn't know how old u actually are or who are you, yet can mathematically confirm that you are over a certain age)? so it's technically possible but regulators just lack the intention? I imagine they would still be able to associate some db requests with login times etc via metadata but that's solvable as well

There's always added risk when using a third party client since you trust an additional party when using the app. We know their dev and I trust it personally. Molly is also reproducible (you can test their APK matches an APK you build with their source code yourself). None of this stuff really matt...
