The best way to age-gate NSFW content on the internet is by requiring a credit card.
Everyone is happy:
>Websites will be more easily able to generate revenue
>Users don't have to give their ID
>Users can use privacy tools (that have KYC like privacy.com) for additional privacy, or gift cards, etc.
Underage are unlikely to have a credit card.
While middle class parents are retarded and buy their kids smartphones and are too stupid to use parental controls on internet access, they don't usually give their kids a credit card until they move away to college.
HOWEVER, credit card companies doing shit like this, refusing to do business with NSFW, actually hinders this approach.
People will be forced to use crypto instead.
Any "Online Safety Act" needs to also include regulations on credit card networks that prevents them pulling services for legal business they don't like.
It's not their job to regulate speech.
If politicians, religious/feminist activists, and sex-worker activists can't take a pragmatic approach here and compromise, then NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN.
It will inevitably revert to the previous status quo.
