  I’ve never had to do that other than actual government organizations. It must be American.

    I am in Australia where they have banned under 16s from using social media and porn. In reality it’s just forced adults to upload ID to various websites and kids just use vpns

  Where I am in the US, for more than 10 years, cashiers have been scanning IDs for age verification of tobacco and alcohol. So even if you pay cash, your identity is tied to those purchases.

  Wait, Reddit requires ID? As for pornhub I guess you love in one of those states?

  • Obituarykidney@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    For nsfw subreddits/profiles, yes. But literally anyone marking their post as nsfw even to hide a spoiler would prompt the ID check making the subreddit unusable until that post was gone.

      Interesting, I didn’t observe that. I wonder if this is only enabled for specific regions or they just have me a pass because my accounts is 16 years old.

    Even in places they aren’t required to take you id by law, they collect EVERYTHING about you. They know already. They know, you are the product.

    • takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I’m aware that they collect information about me and perhaps it could be used to figure out who am I. But handing over ID is actually saying who am I, so anything I would post would be tied to my identity.

      That’s still a big difference.

      • bedwyr@piefed.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        You are correct in that. There is a big difference, although not in what the oligarchs know about you, just about how they can abuse you with the official information.

  pornhub?

  • lemmysir@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s a website that hosts pornographic content.

      Almost like some kind of hub, for porn

  Wish I could’ve used this method to regain OnlyFans access – their verifier took multiple photos of my head for a 3D scan, and the site geolocks its users like Steam, so VPNs wouldn’t work.

    If a site ever asked me to submit a full head scan, I don’t think I would ever go back to it.

    They’re plan is to replace their creators with AI-generated content based on those scans.

    Just switch to fansly, no verification required and almost all sellers who have a page on OF have a fansly too

    • lyralycan@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yus I’ve been considering it, think OF has gotten a little too corporate… Never a bad idea to jump off a sinking ship

  Years ago when I wanted to delete my Facebook account, they asked for an ID. I used McLovin driving license and it was done. It was the style at that time.
