[Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites?
There is a discussion on Hacker News [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38707809], but feel free to comment here as well.
Porn sites Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat face stricter requirements to verify the ages of their users after being officially designated as “Very Large Online Platforms” (VLOPs) under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA).
I personally have mixed feelings, as the information collection could be used to link individuals and profile them. Possibly leading to discrimination if abused.
But I also feel that any random kid shouldn't be able to just go to these sites and see porn freely.
Ofc, there's always going to be those who mange to circumvent any protection put in place but it'd be much harder then just clicking a link or typing in the address.
I also feel that parents should actively monitor their kids online activities and step up a Blocklist to pro-actively prevent kids from reaching these sites to begin with.
What are your thoughts on this?
You're viewing a single thread.
Another reason to pirate
Also if the government do feel the need to "help" parents and the larger social fabric then why not put money into civil dutys classes in schools. Teach kid how to grow into normal adults, the trickle down would be much greater than these half baked ducktape tactics
Yea but a lot might see a boobie, can you image the horror.
Content filtering solutions are imperfect but it's good enough and easy enough to use at home if you need to.
Worst case, your kid learns to bypass content filtering and sparks a career in IT or something.You literally walk a block in NYC and see titties.
There's a lot more extreme content out there.Then just use one of the existing content filtering/ parental control tools for your home network?
I don't see the benefit of another privacy invasion when there's already solutions for this exact problem.
I already mentioned that in my post.
Then have a nice day, I guess
