I have to agree with PornHub's idea.
A device should be able it indicate in its browser headers whether its primary user is an adult or a minor and the service can react accordingly.
It won't protect all the children but children of parents who can't be assed to setup a device properly will have problems no matter how much we increase the surveillance state.
What's gonna stop a pedo from changing the headers to child so that they can access the child internet where all the children are? Like it's not a great solution to me.
Ahh yes the children
If we cared about the children why would we permit religious institutions to exit
Pedo central every single one of them
Trust me that pisses me off. Which is why I'm just skeptical of anything to protect the children like this age verification bill.
