A lot of countries (like NL, ES, PT, BE,…) have state owned APIs which have a central login (with 2FA) could easily just return yep or nay when asked; is this person over 18. Without violating privacy by the porn site and not anymore violating at least than the gov site already does or doesn’t in your opinion. The site wouldn’t have to know anything about who you are; it would work like 3dsecure.
I am not for it but it wouldn’t be hard to do in countries like that; I guess the US doesn’t have / want this? Like a state owned social security login site?
- junofan 3y agoWhat you’re describing is an automated system for the government to control information shared between two private parties. We don’t have that here.
- andreareina 3y agoSo now the government knows you're visiting this particular site.
- anonzzzies 3y agoYeah, like said, i'm not for it, but it beats, as far as i'm concerned, uploading your id + some camera to every 3rdparty that 'needs verification'. I don't mistrust my gov (as much as I do porn site owners, marketers etc), if I did, I would (and will if it ever gets there) move.
- ianburrell 3y agoThe API doesn’t need to include the site. The identity site just needs to verify age and return token that can be passed to site. Lots of identity protocols like OAuth have the provider do the redirect so they know the site. Which makes sense cause they want to validate the site. But it works to have the app do the redirect. They end up passing the token to the sire.
