Why not allow liquor stores and other establishments that check IDs anyway issue a digital certificate that you are of age? Here's my ID, here's my pornhub account name, here's a service fee, digitally attest to the fact that I proved that I'm of legal age.
Seems like the real motive here is deanonymization.
- hunter2_ 2y agoWhen someone of age consistently buys liquor for minors, they'll eventually get caught in many cases, due to the likely rambunctiousness of inexperienced drinkers. Would the same be true here?
- jmclnx 2y agoMaybe, but most of these purchases are by someone 21 (US Age) or a bit older to buy for friends. Very unlikely they will get caught. When I was young, everyone knew this was happening and these people were called "rum runners". And nothing was done. I doubt much as changed. Back to pornhub. There is no way to verify age, have security and anonymity at the same time on the internet. What would be stopping a "rum runner" from sharing his ID with a friend ? I think this is the main reason pornhub is blocking these states. They know it is really impossible to comply with the laws. They also know their customers want both security and anonymity. Once that trust is breached, customers will leave. For a good example there was that "affair" site a few years ago that had a breach and I think ended up folding.
- justsomehnguy 2y ago> they'll eventually get caught in many cases Can you share how exactly 'caught' and in how much 'many cases'? I'm exceptionally skeptical this works for any settlement bigger than a 1000 people.
