    Oh for sure. It’s a very complicated problem and a lot of people are invested in allowing the abuse to continue (otherwise ph would have been prosecuted and shut down).

    I don’t agree that age gating is simple. Not only can people lie, but handling different jurisdictions is complicated af.

    My reaction was more to the specific complaint than the mechanism. I definitely appreciate how hard any of this is to implement with stuff on the internet.

      At least in the European Union you can use the eID System of the identity cards which allows you to disclose your age without your personal information.

        Oh that’s cool. Not European, but will investigate because I like cool things. How secure is it, and how reliable/fake-proof?
