The smart phone generation seem to have lower computer literacy than millennials largely due to smart phones hiding away a lot of the workings. In the UK age verification for adult sites came into force yesterday and like everywhere streaming services are getting very enshittified. This is going to lead kids to discovering tor, VPNs, pirating, how to make deep fakes (to fool ai based age verification), and other ways of getting what they want without restrictions.

    Who in their right mind would upload their ID or face pic to some rando porn site to verify an age? It’s like Internet Security 101 to not do that ever.

    That’s the point. They’re not trying to “protect the kids”. They’re trying to kill porn by making it more cumbersome and uncomfortable for you to do.
