Title says it all, are people actually whipping out their ID in the UK or Texas to watch Porn or scroll Reddit?
Sure! I never have a problem with it because I was born at midnight on January 1, 1970, which is old enough to do anything on the Internet.
Epoch comment, yo.

I’ll roll over that bridge when I come to it.
People watch porn on their work computers, after being told not to. And not just a few. The Venn diagram of folks who do that and who wouldn’t give a single shit about handing over their ID has gotta be roughly a circle. A whole lotta folks are seriously ill-equipped for the burgeoning surveillance nightmare, in fact their complacency (and frankly just being thoroughly outmatched in sophistication) will march us all towards it.
People will always get around this. Before the internet you could always get a hold of adult materials and devices. The internet will not stop humans. No one is actually protecting children, it’s just christians shoving their fucked up views on others. Parents are responsible for protecting their children, not porn websites. Legislation is not a substitute for your responsibility as a parent to, parent your spawn.
I don’t care about this either way except for the free speech angle, but would you say the same about AI?
Yes, you are also responsible for your AI. If it turns evil you have failed as a parent.
Absolutely. “Age Verification” is my nickname for my VPN and I use it all the time for all sorts of things.
I told Steam that I was born in 1900.
Mine is “Not A Minor”.
Porn? They have to prove their age if they want to join the anti fascist subreddit…
Always on a VPN and have just been cycling through the states Im connected to as they get cutoff.
In the 90s, we kids learned pretty quickly that we could change the language on the sat TV receiver in order to get around censorship.
And still there were people who jumped through all the hoops and paid for porn back then. I’m sure there will be similar people now who will scan their passports, hand in a blood sample, apply for porn viewing license, and send in a stool sample.
Gooners gonna goon.
I just realized I haven’t watchrd porn for like months, maybe a year. I rarely do that anymore. When I was a teen, I did because hormones, but then I kinda didn’t care anymore. Perhaps its being asexual.
Still haven’t figured out how to masturbate. Yea I’m definitely asexual by the way I describe it.
My jurisdictions doesn’t have age verification, but either way, I’m always VPNed into Iceland or Switzerland; Except like banking and online purchases, in which case I use real IP since there’s not point hiding when its already linked to my identity.
Apparently this is porn:
ShitIt being ShitIt lol
Out of curiosity, are you a dude or a lady?
Okay, I see that question ruffled some feathers… Which sexual organs were you born with (if you still have them)? 🙃
Do you suppose selling USB sticks with porn for the bri’ish might be a good deal? I can fill a bunch of those
reminds me of the smuggled usb sticks with movies and stuff in north korea
If you are technically inept that you have to verify your age because you cannot get around it…
