Yea, that makes sense, where I’ve seen it implemented here in America typically your ID is checked at point of delivery/pickup which also avoids the whole having to upload your ID to some random third party thing
There’s a difference though. Very few people would care if the government knows they bought some whisky, and very few would care if that information leaks out. But people will care a lot if the government know what porn they’re consuming and WILL care if this information leaks out
No, I agree it shouldn’t be implemented for this. I was just using the ole’ lemmy switcheroo, because I think the comment I replied to was implying porn should be banned.
I was literally showing a person how ridiculous their argument for banning religion sounded in that comment by switching perspectives for them, but hey, who needs context 😜

It’s an odd one, I’ll tell anyone down the pub who asks (although everyone seems to change the topic when I bring it up) and wouldn’t object to the government knowing, but I’d object to the government demanding to know everyone’s porn habits.
I don’t agree with that. I think age verification is fine for things like online alcohol sales.
But when it comes to objectifying women, 18 doesn’t necessarily mean mature enough in the eyes of men.
And what about women objectifying men?
Is there ever a ‘correct age’ to objectify anybody? Porn isn’t always about objectifying women, even if that is how you see it.
It’s a good job my porn doesn’t have women in it then!
Unironically defeated my argument 🫢
