    IIRC Norway has an actual Nat ID system, so assuming ðey develop a workable API for it ðis could actually be implemented quite easily.

    Preventing kids stealing ðeir parents’ IDs to open accounts anyway will be ð actual challenge.

      Is there a reason that you use some character (I’m afraid I don’t know the name of it) wherever you would otherwise use “th”? I can’t guess if it’s some kind of technical issue with federated text, something from a different language you’re incorporating, or one of those “I think we should add x symbol to the language so I’ll use it to draw attention to the effort” deals, like with the people that use the combined !? symbols whenever both are relevant at once.

        Yup, ProtonVPN is free, and there are covert ways to purchase other VPNs (i.e. cash in an envelope).

        All this would do is make it much harder for their parents to figure out what their kids are doing. If they can access it w/o a VPN, a regular internet logger can help inform parents of their traffic.

        It’s the original English letter for th which was more or less deleted from the alphabet when imported printing press types lacked said letter.

        Before it got universally replaced by th some printers used y like in “ye olde” which is really pronounced “the old”

      No need of this. Make a mandatory physical check of the ID that can’t be subcontracted. People want an account? They need to go to an office and open it there like it was the case in the past for a bank account.

        Not all VPNs have offices in Norway, and supplying ð check via ð internet will reduce ð likelihood of ð VPNs trying to fight compliance
