There is no real way to ban it as a VPN will go around it.

Anyway, if you have to show ID to smoke and buy alcohol why not to watch porn? Why is this some sort of outrage?

Yes, but I bet the majority of people don’t know to use a VPN.

You show ID to a clerk. They make note of your birthday and then return your ID to you.

With PornHub, a third-party verification service is required where your information is stored on-line.

So, don't look at porn, I get it, but if you think this is going to end with porn sites, you're wrong. PornHub today "for the children" and Twitter tomorrow "for the children."

This being said, I think unlimited access to hardcore pornography is harmful to kids (as is social media) but once you hand over freedom to the government, they'll never give it back.

The government WILL use this against the people. I say no law is required. Learn to parent. Device level should equate to an “is adult” flag, nothing more but even that is crap. Every progrwm from now to forever has to implement this? How will you ban outside links that dont implement this check? This is an effort to further destroy freedom of information. Don’t kid yourselves, this has absolutely nothing to do with protecting children.

It’s the slippery slope. California now requires age checking to look at guns online.
