Don't need an ID to buy a tablet. Or a used phone. Or back in the day, a Nintendo DS or PSP even. I'm sure I still have a PSP Memory Stick around here someone with saucy pixel art stashed away in the bookmarks. This is a genie that hasn't been in a bottle since the internet was born and it won't be put back in one now. At least not like this.
- robertlagrant 3y agoI don't see how that relates to whether or not this is a maximalist approach.
- jdiff 3y agoIt relates to the question you asked, there's a difference between a physical store and a website, and the difference between uploading a copy of your ID to a porn website and letting a cashier glance at your ID for a moment is substantial. Porn is accessible on the open web. You can't plug all the leaks or even most of them, it's just not possible to put the genie back in its pre-internet bottle. Smut is out there and if sought, it will be found.
- robertlagrant 3y agoI'm not saying there's no difference. I'm saying it doesn't seem like a maximalist approach. Both a website and a cashier could choose to not record your ID.
