"In Europe" is technically true but makes it sound more widely used than I believe it to be... though maybe my knowledge is out of date. Their website lists 24 supported countries (including some non-EU like UK and Norway, and missing a few of the 27 EU countries) - https://www.itsme-id.com/en-GB/coverage But does it actually have much use outside of Belgium? Certainly in the UK I've never come across anyone, government or private business, mentioning it - even since the law passed requiring many sites to verify that visitors are adults. I wouldn't even be familiar with the name if I hadn't learned about its being used in Belgium. Maybe some other countries are now using it, beyond just Belgium? | ||||||||

One problem with solutions like that is the the website needs to pay for every log in. So you save a few dollars blocking scrapers but now you have to pay thousands of dollars to this company instead. | ||||||||
