Spain introduces porn passport to stop kids from watching smut​

Madrid unveils a digital wallet to help porn platforms verify users’ ages.

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.

While the tool has been criticized for its complexity, the government says the credit-based model is more privacy-friendly, ensuring that users' online activities are not easily traceable.

The system will be available by the end of the summer. It will be voluntary, as online platforms can rely on other age-verification methods to screen out inappropriate viewers. It heralds an EU law going into force in October 2027, which will require websites to stop minors from accessing porn.

Eventually, Madrid's porn passport is likely to be replaced by the EU’s very own digital identity system (eIDAS2) — a so-called wallet app allowing people to access a smorgasbord of public and private services across the whole bloc.

“We are acting in advance and we are asking platforms to do so too, as what is at stake requires it,” José Luis Escrivá, Spain’s digital secretary, told Spanish newspaper El País.

-Kids are being abused by authoritarian parents
-They aren't able to access tutors
-The cost of education in general is going up.
-They aren't being taught things they can use to survive a post AI future that could eliminate thousands of jobs.

But sure let's put money into a program that they'll circumvent anyway because it's not like people underestimate the intelligence of kids or anything.

I'm so fukking tired of this style of government that focuses on political theater rather than actual fukking solutions.

Bad and unnecessary move. If someone wants to block access to things like this, it's very easy to do. Doesn't require any involvement from the government.

Yet. Some republican will push for something similar. Especially if they can be on a board of the company or a shareholder.

It won't be pushed out to minors. Everyone will have to comply. No different than having to sign into an adult age verified YouTube account to view explicit videos except whatever wallet or ticket they use will actually verify your government ID (which I guess dating apps do now--correct me if I'm wrong I'm not on them) but more and more sites will just utilize it as they partner with other sites and it just streamlines the browsing experience. Therefore if there is a link on the coli that leads to something 'adult' they can't say "well the minor was browsing thecoli when he came across this content or was linked to it" because thecoli will have a ticket/token/passport whatever you want to call it or be in compliance.

And sure that doesn't mean anyone on thecoli will have your/our actual government information, but whatever company or entity that creates this program/platform will, and can they be trusted?
