    Oh this sounds good… I missed reading the following essential requirements

    • They achieved an unhackable system that also “air gaps” the information used to prove child ID from any external agent, including themselves
    • So it will be pulled immediately if it fails or exposes any childs data
    • Demonstrably withstands hacking? They have independent audit data?
    • Clear accountability clearly laid out for data breaches, including criminal charges?
    • Ministerial accountability?

      Say you get all of that, you’d be willing to trust them? Security is a continuous battle in which the defender mostly try to make the hack not worthy.

      The most valuable the dataset, the more resources bad actors will be willing to spend on the hacking.

      A database of “everyone”? You can imagine the appeal!

      And accountability here means what? The gov gets a fine it pays to itself? A gov employee takes the blame, then what?
