It's not bad for adding friction for children's access to porn.
It's bad because it creates an enormous privacy concern for adults who are forced to identify themselves in a traceable way when for consuming legal, but often very socially taboo content. We might say that these sites should never store the information, but the reality is that it's such a honeypot of potential blackmail that no one should trust it not to be stored.

- noabuseplease 4y agoPornography is not an essential product or service. You can live your life without it. Many people do. If there ends up being a privacy risk to consuming online porn, due to having to hand your personal details over to a pornographer to access it, and you choose of your own volition to do this anyway, then really it's your own fault.
