Ever more websites are using #Cloudflare to block #AI scrapers. Cloudflare is still a man-in-the-middle #MITM attack on the web, but I do think people should have the ability to block the AI crap. So I now have some sympathies for using Cloudflare. What if we had real gov #eID that could be used for captchas? This requires privacy-respecting services that only see the data they need, e.g. "are you a human with an eID? yes/no". There are concerns with eIDs but in implementations not the core idea

That's pretty much what (rate limiting) pseudonyms can do as well, with perfect unlinkability if we get ZKP presentations into the implementation: https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.05419
@rene_mobile very interesting, when do you think there will be usable implementations to try?

I hope in 2026.
