I don’t agree with that. I think age verification is fine for things like online alcohol sales.

    There's a difference though. Very few people would care if the government knows they bought some whisky, and very few would care if that information leaks out. But people will care a lot if the government know what porn they're consuming and WILL care if this information leaks out

    No, I agree it shouldn’t be implemented for this. I was just using the ole’ lemmy switcheroo, because I think the comment I replied to was implying porn should be banned.

    Oh he definitely was, take a look through is profile and you'll see comments like this:

    Because you're deliberately trying to lead people away from God and telling people that they can trust their carnal desires instead.

    It's an odd one, I'll tell anyone down the pub who asks (although everyone seems to change the topic when I bring it up) and wouldn't object to the government knowing, but I'd object to the government demanding to know everyone's porn habits.

    Yea, that makes sense, where I've seen it implemented here in America typically your ID is checked at point of delivery/pickup which also avoids the whole having to upload your ID to some random third party thing

    But when it comes to objectifying women, 18 doesn't necessarily mean mature enough in the eyes of men.
