For commercial services, no. There's a new W3C standard named DID that's much better for this. Using DIDs and a trusted authority, you can prove you're a real person without having to reveal your identity. You can even choose which verified data to reveal (e.g. age). But I guess some large entities would have to push it into the market for it to become widely used.

I think there might be a fly in that ointment.
