They just need to support alternate verification paths for people like him, and people who have otherwise been disfigured.

They should sue for discrimination if steps are not quickly taken to support their situations.

It’s funny how this turns into the gov needing to provide equal access to porn.

Or maybe the government needs to keep their hands off other people's dicks?

Nah, we enjoy having our cold, dead, clammy government hands on your dick. We have to protect the children.

They just need to get the fuck off of people's life.

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

How about... People are paid as age verifiers. Win, win. More jobs, lower chance of data being stolen, maybe more awkwardness if you came across your partner on the other end of the teleconference call.

Or, how about this, bring back porn theatres. Industry gets paid from ticket sales, you have a ticket person who can ask for ID.

Also, is porn really that damaging to kids? I remember when there were videos circulating from beheadings and that was far more traumatising.

First thing I thought of was what if your family like aunt/uncle or cousin has this kind of job... that'd be way awkward.

Sail the high seas, friends.

Note to self: Sell realistic masks so adult Brits can watch llama Pr0n.

On one hand this guy has a hell of a hobby that seems like it steps on everything else in his life. On the other its amazing dude exists to fuck with normative behavior and policies that exist to keep people down.

“Ah good, finally have some alone time. Just gotta go put on a full face of caked-on concealer before I can jork it.”

Does he not have a printer?

[–] 2910000@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't get it.
The only use for a printer in this situation that I can think of is printing individual video stills and making them into an erotic flick-book, but I'm sure that's not it

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Print stuff to fool cameras. Old trick, finding new use.

Doesn't work well on people, but it's very diffocult to train a model on the difference between printed and real images.

Nah, maybe he has some ground to counter this insanity the government is pushing. They enacted this silly shit, and now they're violating his rights as an adult.
