Spain introduces porn passport to stop kids from watching smut (www.politico.eu)

The Spanish government has a plan to prevent kids from watching porn online: Meet the porn passport.

Officially (and drily) called the Digital Wallet Beta (Cartera Digital Beta), the app Madrid unveiled on Monday would allow internet platforms to check whether a prospective smut-watcher is over 18. Porn-viewers will be asked to use the app to verify their age. Once verified, they'll receive 30 generated “porn credits” with a one-month validity granting them access to adult content. Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.

You have to request more porn credits from the government if you need more? Don't want the government to be tracking this data of you. This is a privacy issue

I haven't read enough to know if this is a good thing or not.

But goddamn, I would hate having a 12 year old right now knowing how much terrible, awful shit is out there these days.

I mean there's a ton of accounts like Andrew Tate that are aimed at getting these kids on a terrible thought path while they're still kids.

I would hate to have my theoretical child reading all of the terrible bullshit that's out there with no filter.

I'm so much more worried about my future kids' access to toxic alpha male shit and fascist propaganda than I am about porn.

I've got to get me a Spanish porn passport. I likes me some big bootie Spanish girls.

People live in Spain?

Also I'm just imagining the look on on the store clerks face when that one person comes in to buy porn credits for the 5th time that day.
