      I understand and agree with what you’re saying. I think people should need licenses to have kids, but that’s a different story.

      The conflict that this often boils down to is that the digital world does not emulate the real world. If you want to buy porn in the real world, you need ID, but online anything goes. I love my online anonymity just as much as everybody else, but we’ll eventually need to find some hybrid approach.

      We already scan our faces on our phones all the time, or scan our finger on our computer. How about when you want to access a porn site you have to type in a password or do some biometric credential?

      I think 50% or more of the resistance of restricting porn is really just that people really love porn and are ashamed of what they view. There’s a whole other social psychology that needs to change in regards to how we view sex and I agree with more education.

          Do it like this: you have to go to a notary and show your ID and they don’t scan it or anything, but they then authorize you to create an account with biometric credentials. Now only you can use that account to watch porn online. Hybrid approach.

              You show your ID and a notary enters their credentials to allow you to create an account with your fingerprint or FaceID.

              Your ID doesn’t get saved. Your biometrics are only saved in the way that your iPhone saves them for a password.

              Work with me. What’s a solution that would be acceptable for you? Get creative.
