Age verification without name and surname: this is the way to avoid minors to watch porn.
It’s called Parental Control software.
I would say it is Government Parental Control, the government is your parent 😆
So the govt will know who and when watches porn. lol
So the biggest issues in Spain over the last years is kids watching porn? Really? Spain has been through a shitstorm and this is what they think of. This is just an excuse to generalise the use of digital identity certificates for all the stuff they want.
- this isn’t even a left or right thing, since its government is an amalgamation of left parties
But think of the children!!
The whole age verification can be done privately, secure and without the possibility to get tracked. But imho still not really a good thing to do. Parenting should still be a thing.

Thank you for the links to Wikipedia and identity.com on that other thread. I’ve yet to wrap my head around how zero-knowledge proof could work for such a basic assertion as “user is of legal age”, which calls for a 0 or 1 answer. It seems very different from the examples given of polynomial computations to prove knowledge of an exponent in a complex math expression. I can’t see what could prevent any client to simply lie about the answer here.
It is the parents job to watch their damn kids. Or force isps to include simple blocklist toggles in their supplied routers so the parents can make a decision.
I find tracking all individuals way more dangerous long term than the effects of unmediated internet use.
Parents should be more involved in children’s digital use.
Does outlawing Marijuana stop minors from accessing it? No, I started smoking young. Does requiring an ID stop minors from drinking alcohol? I’m sure many of you will attest to underage drinking
However, tracking everyone doing everything, tracking whatever they say whatever they look at. That impacts everyone, not just minors.
Looks like another govt relying on majority that has no idea about how internet works. It won’t stop kids, but pr0n sites and their partners will certainly get richer.
