I personally support age verification for porn. However, age verification for almost anything else, e.g. Reddit, is a terrible idea.
Define "porn" then I'll think about what you're proposing to age verify.
Idk age restricting Instagram, TikTok etc. might be good for teenagers mental health.
Yeah I think you have it backwards. I don't think anyone has demonstrated any actual harms from porn, but social networks regularly fuck teenagers up.
I definitely would prefer my children to watch porn than get bullied - or worse - on social media.
There's also the fact that I vaguely trust Facebook or Reddit to do a credit card-based age check or whatever. No way I'm giving any of my details to porn sites.
Stupid dumb law.
