How exactly are websites expected to handle IDs because this seems like a data breach disaster waiting to happen, if not already happening.

>how can <trivial, easily solvable problem related to sensitive data> be solved?
just like payments - through 3rd party providers

>>105723772 (OP)
How's that supposed to work anyways? US Americans don't have government issued IDs

>>105726043
I expect a new digital ID will be mandatory for all adults. Perhaps with a microchip implant linked to 5G.

>>105726043
your drivers license is id. kids get by 16.

>>105726043
No ID, no internet.

>>105723772 (OP)
Remember the story of the town that legally set PI to be 3? Just three, no decimal? Yeah: this is like that.

>>105723772 (OP)
they'll outsource it to a data verification service. porn companies don't want to deal with regulatory nightmares, easier to just have it run through another company.

>>105723772 (OP)
>receive id
>verify id
>mark account as verified
>dispose of id information
damn, glad I got that degree in rocket surgery so I can solve unsolvable problems like this

>>105726306
>get audited by state
>uhh umm it was verified, trust me, okay???

>>105726306
>dispose of id information
heh

>>105726380
>get audited by state
>allow them to inspect the verification code
>"looks good to us, carry on citizen"

>>105726306
>dispose of id information

Just calling it now, porn companies are going to LOVE this. All that info attached to your real life ID? They'll be selling your data to marketers that will send you real life mail advertisements based on your searches. Please look forward to receiving brochures for estrogen and trans-friendly bars in your area.

The correct solution would be requiring operating systems to implement parental control settings passed to the browser for websites to read. no verification, just require that all 18+ websites check for parental controls and autodeny if they haven't been set up yet or cannot be found on the OS. now all you need is to educate parents. no privacy lost, no reason for 18+ websites to not respect the rule, all it requires is for parents to - get this - PARENT their child's internet usage

of course, this will not be done because businesses live and die over selling user data. and getting PII like a driver's license is a jackpot

The Supreme Court addressed that in their opinion.
>Petitioners contend that Texas could adopt less restrictive means of protecting children, such as encouraging parents to install content-filtering software on their children’s devices or requiring internet service providers to block adult content unless a household opts in to receiving it. But, even assuming these approaches are equally or more effective, under intermediate scrutiny a “regulation will not be invalid simply because a court concludes that the government’s interest could be adequately served by some less-speech-restrictive alternative.” Ward, 491 U. S., at 800. Texas’s interest in shielding children from - content “ ‘would be achieved less effectively absent’ ” H. B. 1181, and it cannot be said that “a substantial portion of the burden” that H. B. 1181 imposes fails “to advance [Texas’s] goals.” Id., at 799. That is enough to show that the Texas Legislature adequately tailored H. B. 1181, regardless of whether some other approach might be superior.

remove internet from phones

its that simple

society would heal

>>105726560
It's a shame that we're going for the cheapest and quickest to implement solution, but not a surprise.

>>105726615
It's not cheap or quick, though. The Court agreed the Texas law imposes financial burdens on website operators.

>through 3rd party providers
as crypto currency exchanges are doing it right now.
(by the way the problems occuring with this example
show the risks of the idea.)
>>105726159
the EU works on the ID (a proof of it?) in a electronic form
in the app on your phone.

>>105726306
the thing is you know how one could implement it in a working way. you don't think about how a rogue entity could use this with "oh it is not working for you" to prevent you from the thing you need the ID verification for. (Internet in this case ...)

>>105726306
and by the way sadly we are long over the time where just the f*ing documents were enough, today it is documents plus video verification. (I dunno if the added more things in the last weeks.)

>>105726408
anon, that's not evidence that 100% of verified accounts were verified

>>105723772 (OP)
This might make me start going outside more

>>105726483
fuck off stupid, a lot of people use the official payment providers, they have your name on record, stupid. you are annoying!

And I only said "a lot of" and not "all" because I have to check how many
companies would offer crypto as a payment method currently.

>>105726489
>no privacy lost,
and at that moment you could realize their real motivation to implement this.

>>105726560
do you get that if the gov would want that people are not viewing certain speech on a platform, and if the platform allows porn pictures (videos, ...). they just would have to spam porn material and boom the people cannot view the speech part without the verification process ... ( this is totally not an attempt on banning the speech offering site *irony*)

>>105723772 (OP)
how long before shimoseka becomes real?

>>105725939
surely you must be joking

in fact, all of this seems most absurd and ridiculous

this is good because we need to protect the kids or however the baby penises are mutilated

>>105726306
>dispose

its all one big nothingburger. use a vpn.

>>105726043
You literally can't get an internet subscription without a form of id and it's much more invasive.

>>105726380
Yes, generally verifiable procedures are considered good enough and age verification for the internet is much less consequentially than say selling guns to a minor. So if the audit can prove how an ID is verified with a working procedure:
1) we get the ID
2) we verify it's valid against a state database
3) we delete the ID after issuing an private authorization token

>>105728351
Why is the internet exempt when you have to show an ID buying porn in a local store? That seems ridiculous especially since we know children do in fact use the internet.
