You’re dreaming if you think there’s a technological way to enforce access restrictions. You can’t do it with “browser attestation” or “APIs”.

If they require a valid govt ID on the server side then your options are your ID or the ID of someone else.

On what server side? If 1 in 100 sites asks for your ID, then you simply use the other 99 that don't. There are so many clones of different porn sites that don't give a single fuck about regulations, why would they care about that law.

If lawmakers won’t piss off and iPad parents keep demanding we protect their children from their own responsibility as parents, then we’ll get shitty laws about this.
