We aren't anon on the web and we need to get over it. Fine sites that allow minors to view porn and the free market will figure out age verification real quick.

We should be though. Also, what is porn and who gets to define what porn is?

No. Sites shouldn't have to ID everyone that uses them. The internet shouldn't be turned into a nursery for children just because parents don't want to do their job and supervise their children while they're on the internet. If you want a curated internet that is child-appropriate, then you create your own private internet. You don't force the rest of the world to censor itself.

Why isn't your name in your profile here or why aren't you easily identified if that's the case? You're not all that identifiable here.

Just like the free market figured out cybersecurity? It ain't a magic wand that fixes all problems, buddy. Some problems just aren't possible to fix without making changes that sacrifice values core to the economy and of our culture.

  I buy alcohol, I'm age verified. The govt didn't need to build a big fancy age verification system for businesses to use, they only needed to fine businesses who sell alcohol to minors. The businesses will figure out how to be in compliance.

    A website isn't comparable to a physical storefront. What an absolute boomer thing to suggest. What tech discipline are you in? Policy? Because I have serious doubts you have any technical experience. A website is mediated by computers. Computers make copies of information that is sent to them because that is how computers work. Tech companies also like to collect and sell personal information. What do you think will happen with records of people's fetishes in the hands of companies that like to sell personal information?

      Physical storefronts don't collect and sell your information? > What do you think will happen with records of people's fetishes in the hands of companies that like to sell personal information? Not my problem and tangential to age verification.

        > Physical storefronts don't collect and sell your information? I have no reason to believe a physical strip club would sell info of which ladies I look at to anyone with a couple of bucks. I can't say the same about websites. > Not my problem and tangential to age verification. You can't demand a solution while ignoring the cost and expect to be taken seriously.

        My solution is fine- privacy is not one of my requirements.

        You didn't give a solution. You just asserted "the free market will handle it."
