   We must recognize the danger that age verification laws have beyond pornography. They could clear the way for politicians to deem harmful any content they disagree with, such as LGBTQ+ content or content about abortion. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/impact-age-verification-measures-goes-beyond-porn-sites

     @eff If 'government officials' are not good enough for judging what children can see, who else is? The pastor? Or the company selling porn (de-regulation) Or a political party? Or a gay political party?
     I think a simple age criterium is the only thing that can be upheld internationally. And then national governments can make a mess of it by deciding what they want to define as 'adult content'.
