On the contrary, third parties will only get to know the age of the users, not their identities.

“Linkability is especially problematic because untrusted entities, such as attribute providers and relying parties acting together, can correlate and link auxiliary information to the same user, thereby breaching privacy and enabling tracking, profiling, or de-anonymisation.” [1]

That’s assuming EUDI never gets breached — but if Google and every major tech company has been, it’s only a matter of time, but this will have way more personal info ....

I've been using discord for 5 years and never upload my ID … And I don't want discord (or any other company) to know my age, or any other identification ...

That is not true, EUDI is a security problem instead of a solution. It is trivial to correlate the info and there is a critical path where a breach would expose even more.

Best security: Don't collect. Nothing comes close, no even the best ZK setup.

Also, as a European citizen I really don't want it. Ironically governments aren't mature enough for that.
