Seems simple until you try to figure out what's allowed for what age, which surely will differ by country at a minimum.

- mijoharas 7mo agoTo me that's a geo-ip lookup on the online service, which they kinda need to do anyways so seems fine? (if there are further restrictions then it gets messy, but I feel like that's the current state of things anyways? at least for online services which I'm mostly speaking about here.) Mostly my point is I don't think attestation is required. I think that responsibility should fall upon parents, and I don't want to have to give my ID to any online sites, because I don't remotely trust them to keep that safe. I'm less worried about them storing a number I send them about how old I am.
- qup 7mo agoThere's ~195 countries with 195 sets of laws. And 50 US states.
- mijoharas 7mo agoYeah, and frankly if you have a porn site (for example) you already need to deal with the different country restrictions. Having no restrictions would be great, but since a bunch of countries are passing these laws I'd appreciate having a minimally invasive version instead.
