I know people are going to freak out about digital ID requirements but it's important to remember that porn has age restrictions in real life and you're required to show ID proving that you're +18yrs old to view/purchase porn.
It really was only a matter of time before they would start checking for age on the Internet.
Also, this isn't anything new. If you've ever tried buying a firearm or nicotine products online, you're required to prove your age - just like in person. I, personally, have submitted an ID to purchase nicotine products.
I actually found it a bit hypocritical that porn had no age check while firearms/nicotine did because you at least have to make a purchase in the case of the latter, while porn can be found for free.
And, at the end of the day, you will still be able to find free porn all over the internet, so it's just the major sites like PornHub are gonna be taken down a notch.
This is the thing. It ALWAYS starts with the acceptable target. That's how censorship on Reddit became so commonplace, they targeted the acceptable losses, and then grew and grew and grew.
I'm not losing sleep because loser coomers are having a harder time. But accepting this is accepting the method. I have principles against porn. I also have principles against Digital ID. I'm not going to compromise one for the other, and if you're so ready to compromise your principles, then chances are they aren't principles in the first place.

This isn't a victory of any sort you idiot. This is losing ground and you're dumb enough to celebrate it.
