Show HN: Privacy-First Voice Age Verification

A developer launched AGEWARDEN, a privacy-first voice age verification service that does not track or store user data, aiming to provide safe online age checks without surveillance. The tool was created in response to concerns about online safety and data collection, inspired by the shutdown of Omegle.

I miss the old web. As a kid I could type in "a/s/l" in AOL messenger and chat with someone my own age, without worrying about the dangers that lurk on the web today.

After seeing what happened to Omegle, a question stuck: is there a simple way to do age verification that both keeps people safe and doesn't contribute to a surveillance state?

After a year of hard work, that question resulted in AGEWARDEN. Each part of the service puts people first. No tracking, nothing stored (it's more difficult these days to NOT collect data :smh:).

Please give it a try if you have a moment https://agewarden.ai/demo. Feedback is very much welcomed.
