I’ve seen multiple requests for nsfw lemmy communities like reddit has. I live in Germany, and I think you are required to verify that the users that see porn content are above the age of 18. Does Lemmy has or plan to have a feature for that? Maybe this should be an issue on github?
Wtf I don’t want my personal ID in a database
This is what I see when I access pornhub from my home in Louisiana without a VPN.
I would’ve just blocked Louisiana instead of taking responsibility and liability for a bunch of sensitive personal information.
What the actual fuck. It’s just people having sex, for gods sake.
Yea, it’s pretty bad here.

One solution that could work in the future is that the personal device (computer or smartphone) could have the basic info that the owner is over 18 and therefore only give a “yes they are over 18” confirmation to the website without sharing any personal info.
How would you do that without giving someone both your personal info as well as the option to track what you’re doing
No idea I’m not a programmer
That is not necessary for age verification. You just have to go through a working verification process and then you just get the checkmark in the database. most sites that really verify your age use credit cards for that, which are of course sub par, because children can just take the cards from their parents, but it is better than nothing
using your credit/debit card to verify your account is something that I also wouldn’t like to do. Same as using my ID
And this process does not necessarily have to use ypu personal ID
