    Except you’re not at the risk of the liquor store owners storing a copy of your ID when they quickly review it

        What the heck is a “novel solution”

        It seems like a great way to deprive young people of education and exposure to foreign culture. Not to mention asking everyone to validate there age seems like a great way to ruin the entire internet.

          You taking it a little far I think there. Education into foreign culture can be provided by books.
          Anyway, there are things that children should not be allowed to have access to. And that access has always been partially governed by parents and partially governed by Society.
          Now when I was a kid my dad could take me to an R-rated movie and that’s fine. But no parent, no admission.
          When you’re there in person someone can look at you and make a judgment of your age or they can ID you.
          That’s not possible using the internet without people saying it’s too invasive.
          So we need some kind of solution which provides enough anonymity while also being able to absolutely confirm you are above certain age.

            I think the reality is that kids will get exposed to adult content at some point on the internet. As a parent it is very important to have sex related conversations early so that your kid doesn’t get taken advantage of. At the end of the day kids grow up to be adults and sometimes that happens much faster than we would like it to. Even if you shelter your kid they will still get exposed from other kids. You can’t control teens and young adults.

              Of course they will get exposed to things over time and kids will always work to circumvent their parents restrictions. But we got to make them work for it. It shouldn’t be easy. Lol
