Don’t be dumb, this isnt even close to the same thing.

They ID at the liquor store too.
Go ahead and give a better solution. I’m up for it.

The “thing” is how to age gate materials on the internet. I said I’m up for a solution. What’s yours?
Holyginz@lemmy.world 2 days ago
There already is a solution. Parents need to be involved in restricting what their kids are viewing. Thats the solution, but parents dont want to do that, they want the sites to do the job for them.
l3mmypr0n@lemmynsfw.com 2 days ago
Nope. Its already been tried. The internet is too ubiquitous.
And that’s like saying, all liquor stores should not require ID, and it’s the parents fault if an underage kid acquires some booze.
Silly.

Why stop at porn? Any objectionable words (like darn or poop), or any form of non-consensual contact (including Three Stooges pies in the face) must require photo ID to access. The internet is for everyone, after all.

No that’s not how the world works. All things are not for everybody. Ask any parent. Your kids do not get to run free and do whatever they want.

A solution presumes there is a problem in the first place.

Government should provide a way to anonymously verify that you have reached a certain age (not your exact age). If your id is a smart card, the proof could even be generated offline.
l3mmypr0n@lemmynsfw.com 2 days ago
Yeah I agree to more anonymous it could be, the better.
Not sure how possible that is though.

Except you’re not at the risk of the liquor store owners storing a copy of your ID when they quickly review it
rothaine@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Nor at risk of a server misconfiguration leaking all the copies to random assholes

Wait until the guy at the liquor store has facebook glasses or whatever they’re called

That’s why we need a novel solution.

What the heck is a “novel solution”
Also it seems like a great way to deprive young people of education and exposure to foreign culture. Not to mention asking everyone to validate there age seems like a great way to ruin the entire internet.
l3mmypr0n@lemmynsfw.com 2 days ago
You taking it a little far I think there. Education into foreign culture can be provided by books.
Anyway, there are things that children should not be allowed to have access to. And that access has always been partially governed by parents and partially governed by Society.
Now when I was a kid my dad could take me to an R-rated movie and that’s fine. But no parent, no admission.
When you’re there in person someone can look at you and make a judgment of your age or they can ID you.
That’s not possible using the internet without people saying it’s too invasive.
So we need some kind of solution which provides enough anonymity while also being able to absolutely confirm you are above certain age.
