I suppose dvd order porn will become a thing once again.
Or alternatively we can start sharing bootleg USBs with our friends.
The Internet had begun its enshitification stage, as governments look to control and lock down access to the internet people will find new and creative ways to bypass these barriers. For one, things like Tor or going back to DVDs and physical media might get more main stream.

I don’t get the purpose of this.
You clearly haven't thought of the children.
Nah it's just a precursor to having all your online activity tied directly to your identity. That's the purpose. I'm sure plenty of misguided elders in government think it's about saving kids from porn though.

Fortunately lawmakers think all internet porn is on PornHub and that you find it by going to w-w-w dot yahoo dot com and typing "sex video" or "naked ladies" in the search thing.
The only porn they have experience with are polaroid photos that they got from a friend who knows a guy who makes tasteful art for clients with "particular tastes."

For anyone curious, the privacy video is in their latest(?) blog post on their site. It should be viewable anywhere as it's outside the NSFW area and before the 18+ notice.
(Just bear in mind that while it should be SFW, it is still under a porn-site's domain.)
When I went on vaca a few months ago I was caught off guard with this. Kind of crazy that this is going to be everywhere probably... I will never give them this info, there are always alternatives. I just used VPN that week which worked fine.
Sorry, MAGA. If you want to stroke it to trans porn, you need to show ID.

If this doesnt make people stop using those sites, nothing will. :)
And yeah, like others have said, its of course a system that will be used to control people and remove semi-anonymity from the web.
I'm going back to physical media. Guess that will include my porn soon too.
Hmm, might actually still have some old playboy somewhere 🤔

It's not just for porn anymore though. My new phone required it to use certain applications. Facebook requires it to sell on marketplace. As for conversations about it, all of this went to supreme court at least 6 months ago, spoilers, they lost in terms of protecting our privacy. There are days THEY win inside my head & I assume they're recording & adverty within my dreams. you don't even need to be a tin-hat wear crazy to believe things like that anymore.
🤔 I'm not sure that lawmakers really understand what they're up against. If most VPN locations all eventually require government ID for porn, then some people will likely seek porn from places/networks that are... Less legitimate.

You can still hold up a picture of Norman Reedus to bypass age checks right?
