I just don't get it. People need to understand that there is no way to verify age and have privacy. Want your kids to not access porn online? Parent them, control their online presence by talking to them, be a good parent. The state cannot parent your kids for you, this will only lead to us to a totalitarian state.
Or just accept that kids -at least boys- will watch porn after hitting puberty. Stopping that requires crazy helicopter parenting I think.
It also makes it more dangerous for kids because when they can't access moderated legal porn then they'll go to communities that exist to avoid censorship which of course are likely to contain far worse stuff and possibly involve communication with far worse people.
The important story is buried in the middle of the article. This is another example of “think of the children” used to build censorship tools that will likely be later used in other ways.
