Remember: to conservatives, private companies can do nothing wrong.
Damn it! I come to Lemmy to laugh at US politicians saying stupid things! If the CPC win the election I fear c/memes is going to have more Canadian Content.
I’m not worried about pornhub/redtube/xhamster/xvideos/chaturbate/only fans leaking info but more someone hacking in. There’s a potential goldmine of blackmail/sextortion material from seeing what fetishes someone has.
Even if they do need to authenticate some digitalid, there’s no need to store it and there’s no reason for it to link to an individual person.
This is a very dangerous idea as is.
And this won’t even stop kids from finding porn. I think it is based on good intentions but they are too proud to say “yeha, maybe this has more cons than pros”
It’s obviously not based on good intentions… how can you be this naïve? If a conservative says “but think of the children”, you know fully well whatever they’re proposing is not for the wellbeing of children.
Also porn history is a really good clue to figuring out someone’s sexuality and gender identity. And useful to conservatives for demonizing queer people as sexual deviants. I 100% believe this is an indirect way of harming queer people by outing them and their sexual interests.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Small government, right CPC?
To be clear: climate change requires individual responsibility. Keeping your kids off legitimate online pornography websites is too big for citizens to handle on their own and requires government intervention.
The “trustworthy” porn companies are unwilling to serve to regions that require them to store government IDs.

Because that’s like them having to become HIPAA compliant. The amount of work with the potential of breaches and lawsuits isn’t worth it by any means.
Also, I can’t recommend Mullvaad enough as a VPN. I’m on the east coast of the US and can exceed 1gbps down with a connection in Sweden, or max out my bandwidth on servers closer to me.
