Spain introduces porn passport to stop kids from watching smut - eviltoast

The Spanish government has a plan to prevent kids from watching porn online: Meet the porn passport.

Officially (and drily) called the Digital Wallet Beta (Cartera Digital Beta), the app Madrid unveiled on Monday would allow internet platforms to check whether a prospective smut-watcher is over 18. Porn-viewers will be asked to use the app to verify their age. Once verified, they’ll receive 30 generated “porn credits” with a one-month validity granting them access to adult content. Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.

    This is wild. Not only mandatory validation, but some sort of credit system to monitor how much porn a person is watching?

      I guess they’re gonna provide a government service that recommends porn based on your watching habits. There’s no other sane reason.
