    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.

        My point is you shouldn’t present any id to a random site, it should exists a government app that does it for you.

        Same as the passport you show at the border and it should not even show name or picture, is should just say if you are over 18 or not.

        People shouldn’t be in the need to show a credit card to watch porn.

        Do you prefer to give your personal id to any site in the world instead of using the same app which you pay your taxes with?

          The effect is still the same these companies are given access to my personal information because the government wants to monitor our activity online

            Well, actually anybody is trying to monitor your activity online in this moment. But thinking to what Trumo is doing right now probably I wouldn’t like to do it as well.

            Like other medias before, internet probably has reached a need for some harder control. I’m not talking about porn, I’m talking about disinformation, bots and soon AI.

            Not sure which is the best way but I’ll not give any id or credit card to any randim site in order to see their content.

              I agree we need to get rid of all the bullshit you mentioned - but I don’t think giving up our anonymity or more gated communities (like facebook, twitter, instgram and all those fucked up places) are the solution.

              “Disinformation”

              Ahhh ok I see now.

              So who do you think should be in charge of that?

              Who do we make “the good guys” that get to tell me the information I need to see. USA, CCP, Israel, Russia, EU?

              Fuck that shit. I don’t trust a god damn one of them and if you do then your opinions on regulating the internet don’t mean shit to me.

      Credit cards should roughly do the same, but both of those aren’t “great” for privacy and really exists to make profiles of adults while pretending to negate the need for parents to parent (the only real way to reduce/prevent harms of kids witnessing age inappropriate media). Your ability to do financial transactions shouldn’t be tied to your speech or content you view.
