      *so that the government can say kids won’t watch porn.

      Rule 1 of computers that everyone who has taught an ICT class learns - if little Timmy wants titties, he finds a way.

      In Sweden pretty much anybody has Bank Id, an app which is connected to a bank account and which can function as a valid identification.

      App belongs a private company, but it’s still trustworthy and everybody can sign government docs with that.

      This is how you should do age verification, through a third party app, not like any site will get your id/picture to just end in their DBs ready to be stolen.

      Every government should create an app for the online id, I don’t get why this seems so hard to achieve.

          Do you prefer to give your personal id to any site in the world instead of using the same app which you pay your taxes with?

              Like other medias before, internet probably has reached a need for some harder control. I’m not talking about porn, I’m talking about disinformation, bots and soon AI.

              Not sure which is the best way but I’ll not give any id or credit card to any randim site in order to see their content.
