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.

You have to request more porn credits from the government if you need more? Don't want the government to be tracking this data of you. This is a privacy issue

At least it will raise tech literacy among youth. If it isn’t as easy and would require some thinking that’s already better than 99% of homework.

It's easier to just use a VPN and pretend to be from anywhere else...

It will be fun for one unashamed porn addicted user to keep making so many requests to this service that they break it.

"Javier, it's been 30 minutes since your last credit application."

"MORE CREDITS. CAN'T TALK."

So teens learn about Tor & VPNs. This stuff doesn't work. The higher you put the skills to get access, the more they will learn. Nothing motivates teens more than access to adult stuff. Maybe this is really a tech literacy policy.

Learning to circumvent my parent's fumbling attempts to keep me off of early nineties bulletin board porn made me the man I am today.

Much easier just to go to sketchy websites than learn how to hide your traffic

Yup, all you're doing is teaching them to cover their tracks

Tinfoil hat time! Also written thinking more about the US, where this sort of thing is also a growing topic.

Perhaps this government anti-porn law stuff is backed by people who actually want to dismantle government altogether. And not in a fun Communist way but in a privatize everything, corporate serfdom way.

By pushing for the government to do stupid and unpopular things, they can get people mad at the very concept of government. They can then use that to dismantle things like nationalized health care, fire departments, whatever.

Workshop this with me, passporn or pornport? Porn pass?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Passporn sounds great, pornport just sounds like where someone goes to acquire porn (that series of tubes thing, w/e that is), but pornpass sounds the most likely to be adopted by the marketing department.

passporn has a nice ring to it. wank wallet also comes to mind.
