So, its not about the data ?

not necessarily !
there are millions of biz models out there what are working completely WITHOUT data.
do you tell anyone data when you watch TV ?
but now imagine if there are only TV stations allowed where you would have to verify
your age would you go to where you have to give data or would you go to the one where you can enter with a badge ?
i think this big data biz model is meanwhile FAR overestimated simply because you can buy userdata at every corner in the web.
as long as you have a good reason in your concept what brings users back to you all the time you do not need their data.
sure SOMEONE have to have them but would it not be ok to give your paypal address and paypal APPROVES that you are 18 ?
would it not be possible to log in to your bankaccount and click a button that they should send an approval somewhere ?
i mean at the end of the day you can not make 100% sure that the person who want to be approved is the one he says. and believe me there are already TONNS of this people around giving data from the partner or a friend or even copy and paste them from internet.
or they do not even apply for verification and use the existing verification of someone else.
even with blockchain technology and mac adresses you canīt prevent that because you never know WHO is using a device.
so for WHAT are such data good for?
I think here a bit as steve does because i think that NOT GIVE ANY DATA is the future.
if the british government can live with a solution what can easily be tricked (same as EVERY solution can be tricked) - it is nice.
if you see the business model only in data you donīt think far enough.
the business model what based on the excessive use of user data makes the "no data model" to a very new one.
market is a river - no mountain is able to stop it because it will just stream around.
i remember the mobile times when we where still able to catch the users MSISDN - yes was nice but than came the day when we had to find a way to do it without it. and the result was even better because it opened markets what we did not even see before.
i donīt know all about steveīs product but I know he is not an idiot and he checked the goals and possibilities to make that thing a broadrange product with future perspective.
