@nini @protonprivacy but it does in the analog world. A kid can’t go in to a store and buy a porn magazine, tobacco and alcohol even though it exist? So why should they be allowed on internet?

@miaholte @protonprivacy Physical presence helps a lot in preventing sales to the underage, nobody's retaining your photo ID if they do ask. Digitally though, everyone is subject to having their photo ID kept on file by a third party to prove their age and that info can and has been stolen. There's a definite high likelihood of there being mission creep, more things being subject to age verification and all of it puts everyone at risk and increases the risks to the underage by flagging them as underage.
