      *so that the government can say kids won’t watch porn.

      Rule 1 of computers that everyone who has taught an ICT class learns - if little Timmy wants titties, he finds a way.

      In Sweden pretty much anybody has Bank Id, an app which is connected to a bank account and which can function as a valid identification.

      App belongs a private company, but it’s still trustworthy and everybody can sign government docs with that.

      This is how you should do age verification, through a third party app, not like any site will get your id/picture to just end in their DBs ready to be stolen.

      Every government should create an app for the online id, I don’t get why this seems so hard to achieve.

        Who taught you sex is a drug? As long as words mean their definitions, it’s categorically not. Plus it’s probably kinda harmful to pile on the stigma already surrounding sex by conflating it with drugs and all the stigma that comes with that.

        Hopefully I’m wrong, but it’s kinda giving a nofap pseudoscience red flag to me.

        Parents definitely should be teaching their kids about this stuff at the appropriate time, but they should stick to the facts.

          First they came for the sex, then they came after the drugs. Now they’re trying to take my rock and roll
