    Sometimes I forget that Italy, despite its history, is currently under control of far-right neo-fascists.

      Why do you say despite its history? What about Mussolini? They had their own mini Hitler.

        Mini? Excuse me, I’ll have you know that our own fascist leader actually invented the term fascism, was in power before Hitler and for a longer period.

        I won’t have you besmirch our glorious history of oppression like that.

      Australia and UK are at the forefront of Internet ID control and both are Labor/Labour party led.

        To say that the UK is currently Labour led is like saying Germany from 1933 - 1945 was run by socialists (national socialists as it were).

        Their name means fuck all when their actions say the opposite.

          “No true Scotsman…”

          Which party, anywhere in the world, has been true to their word once in power?

    If we set aside the privacy nightmare, consider this.

    Teens wont stop searching for porn. Would you rather they find it on not-moderated sites, that might also consist of illegal content? Or might consists of nudes from people than didnt consent to their picture being online?

    Everything is just dumb about this.

      True, it’s like the war on drugs, but drugs that can be perfectly copied infinite times and fully shared over the internet.

        and not to mention, the tools required to create it (maybe not the best examples, but still) are already in the possession of virtually everybody.

      yes you’re right but you and I both know they aren’t concerned about that because going back to your first sentence that’s what this is really about but masked as a “won’t anyone think of the children” so it’s easier to swallow (no pun intended)

        At least in the EU they will implement a verification system, meaning you only have to verify with the official government, and then you can use a anonymised token that gives the porn sites only the age.

        It’s not perfect, but it’s far better than everything else suggested.

          the recent California law seems to be better. what it requires is the parent to be able to configure the age for an OS account. browsers can then check the age bracket, and enforce the limit instead of having the website do it.

      You don’t want one with exit nodes in Italy. You want one with exit nodes not in Italy. The exit node determines where the user appears to be coming from to the site in question.
