As of this week, half of the states in the U.S. are under restrictive age verification laws that require adults to hand over their biometric and personal identification to access legal porn.
Missouri became the 25th state to enact its own age verification law on Sunday. As it’s done in multiple other states, Pornhub and its network of sister sites—some of the largest adult content platforms in the world—pulled service in Missouri, replacing their homepages with a video of performer Cherie DeVille speaking about the privacy risks and chilling effects of age verification.

I’m not against proper age verifications as such, it would be like carding people in a store or a bar. But I just haven’t seen an implementation of it that isn’t prone to being a privacy nightmare and surveillance state shit.
I know there’s some systems that generate a token that verify that you are 18 and you give that to the site, so neither side directly meet so to say. The site knows only that you have a valid token for being 18 and the app or service you use to generate the token knows just that you wanted to token for something. I think Spain was figuring out a system like that.
Also the fact no companies are ever held liable for losing all your personal info, I sure as hell don’t trust this, it can backfire at all.
Incompetence is one big reason why current style systems are just a no-go for me.
Same.
Just posting on social media using your face to speak against the state in México gives you the privilege of being doxxed on national TV by the president, I can’t imagine what they would do with something like this
Keep the downvotes coming, I live here and you don’t have any idea if you really believe Morena is left leaning in any way or form
Nice try CIA guy. Don’t you have more gen Z protests to schedule?
Nice try croquetero, don’t you have state propaganda to share on social media?
Everyone who ever submits for age verification will have their information stolen. It is a matter of when, not if.
