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.

    Ah, so another make-work project that wasted millions of dollars, was built on a broken concept, that nobody will use, and will be defunct in 2 years. Got it. Good job, Spain.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe there might be one or two porn sites outside of Spain that would not be required to implement this…

      I dislike vdL as well, bit how the hell is this the EU commission’s fault? eIDAS is not fully in place yet, so while it dies have issues, you cannot blame that.

      Spain is actively pursuing privacy invasions all by themselves. The Spanish government is actively pushing for the end of encryption in messengers so that shitty AIs can scan your photos and videos because “think of the children”, too.

    Oh come on. When will people see through the old reliable “just think of the kids!” move? Fuckers just want to kiss the free internet left and right.

    Wait until VPNs can be used to distribute CP and need to be banned.
