A Senate bill that would require Canadians to verify their age online before accessing porn is moving through the House of Commons without the support of the Liberal government.

Louisiana's system sounds pretty sophisticated, although I haven't looked into the exact implementation. Some sort of cryptographic protocol happens through the porn site between the DMV and your device, which returns a go-ahead or not, and nothing else. The "only" data leaked is your exact porn preferences to the government.

Shockingly, everyone in the state just moved to seedier sites anyway. Who would have thought? /s

Which would be the only reasonable way to do it. Do people actually think they give their drivers license to pornhub? Is it fucking 1988 still?

Kind of? People still fax medical records around where I live, as of last I checked. Policymakers aren't the most tech-savvy bunch, generally speaking.
