No, it’s not just a scale problem, but to even suggest that kids looking at graphic violence videos on YouTube etc is as prevalent as or as big of an issue as kids looking at porn is absurd. There are studies galore linking the consumption of porn in children to all sorts of behavioural issue, and studies showing that it’s increasing dramatically.
I have nothing against porn, I don’t think it should be censored or banned or anything - but age restrictions done properly (ie securely and privately) are long overdue.
And before you say it - yes, I think the same should apply to other not-suitable-for-kids content like extreme violence, vulgarity, etc.
age restrictions *done properly (ie securely and privately)* are long overdue.
This does not exist.
It is claimed to exist, but you can’t name a single technology that guarantees security and privacy from the user to the source of the verification.
Are you willing to trust pornhub with your personal information? Xhamster? Kink.com? Motherless? Draft porn? PervertTube? And on, and on, and on.
You trust that every, single, individual, porn site is going to have both the know how, and scruples, to keep this data 100% secure and private?
Because I don’t even trust that a site can keep my credit card information private and secure, as has been shown to be a good bet over and over again despite there being a plethora of laws on how to handle such information.
It doesn’t exist, but that is what some are suggesting and hoping is going to be made with these laws being passed. It would be a really good thing for the internet and websites/apps as a whole tbh if a system like this is made, and it’s not like it would be difficult.
The sites wouldnt need your information, they would just verify that the person attempting to access the site is authenticated as being 18+.

How do you verify someone is 18 without your information?
