Not sure why you're getting down voted. Porn can absolutely become a behavioral addiction.
I used to work at a place where we had a lobby guard that watched porn on his phone all day (sound off). Not sitting there trying to jerk it, it was a compulsion. He would just be watching it while talking to other people, standing by the door...it was weird. He eventually got fired because he genuinely couldn't not watch porn.
That being said, I'm a huge privacy advocate, and while there are actually ways to anonymously be on a website and verify age, that's not how anyone is doing it. Things like signing up for an account on a site and scanning your ID are just abysmally stupid. There's a zero percent chance that this system as is doesnt lead to data theft and possibly even extortion.
How would that work? I'm not well-researched on this particular topic, so I'm curious how that should work.
Key signing maybe?
You get a cert which is cryptographically signed by your government. They can prove its signed with the governments root cert, showing that its someone over 18, but not who.
That being said the key identifiers will probably still be attached to you in some government db, just not on the porn site.
Though the government could force the pornsite to hand over any logged ids. Some people would say that's private, as they trust the government not to do stuff without a judges warrant.
As a trans woman relying on HIPPA to not be put on a list of those on HRT, lmao yeah fucking right. The christian taliban will connect the dots the first chance they get.
