      *so that the government can say kids won’t watch porn.

      Rule 1 of computers that everyone who has taught an ICT class learns - if little Timmy wants titties, he finds a way.

      In Sweden pretty much anybody has Bank Id, an app which is connected to a bank account and which can function as a valid identification.

      App belongs a private company, but it’s still trustworthy and everybody can sign government docs with that.

      This is how you should do age verification, through a third party app, not like any site will get your id/picture to just end in their DBs ready to be stolen.

      Every government should create an app for the online id, I don’t get why this seems so hard to achieve.
