The Spanish government has a plan to prevent kids from watching porn online: Meet the porn passport.

Officially (and drily) called the Digital Wallet Beta (Cartera Digital Beta), the app Madrid unveiled on Monday would allow internet platforms to check whether a prospective smut-watcher is over 18. Porn-viewers will be asked to use the app to verify their age. Once verified, they’ll receive 30 generated “porn credits” with a one-month validity granting them access to adult content. Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.

You have to request more porn credits from the government if you need more? Don’t want the government to be tracking this data of you. This is a privacy issue

    If your worst-case scenario for lax online identity is that kids might watch porn… I don’t give a shit if kids watch porn.

    At least it will raise tech literacy among youth. If it isn’t as easy and would require some thinking that’s already better than 99% of homework.

        Even something as straightforward nowadays as VPN install can educate a person about cybersecurity as a side effect.

        Thing is most stuff is simply too easy too acquire nowadays. No effort. No thought. Just endless stream of dopamine that is too addicting to even bother inquiring about how the very thing you are using works.

        The victory of convenience will defeat us. There has to be some effort needed to acquire things otherwise they lose any value.

      Only applies to sites who are based in Spain, at least the porn bans in the US went somewhat scorched earth, this limp dicked attempt doesn’t even do that.

    Hmm. Driving porn viewers who value their privacy underground couldn’t possibly have any negative consequences I can think of.

    Wait…I want to be “Secretario de Pornabilidad Social” or “Secretary or Social Probability”

    I imagine my self going through all the SSN… Sexual Super Numbers to manage access and report usage.

    1335346755 watched 6 hours per day of mostly vanilla doggy.

    2356544677 more doggie

    More doggie… doggie again. But every now and then… 1257678965534 watched 72 consecutive hours of BDSM where the sub faces downward into a hole in the floor where a camera…then the last does the same and the video cuts to another similar one. We must report this immediately to the right authority!

    I don’t think porn is a good thing, but the fact that even if you’re an adult with a pass you are limited is pretty bizarre. this is on top of the fact that you are already giving up your privacy to view it.
