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.
Sounds like something the far right would encourage. If it is only in Madrid, well, you should know about Isabel Diaz Ayuso.
Couldn’t be more wrong.
It is not only in Madrid. When they say “Madrid unveils” it’s because Madrid is Spain’s capital so the government is there, it’s the same as “Spain’s government unveils”.
It also isn’t a far right thing, but a push by the left (the current government of Spain is lead by PSOE, Spain’s socialist party). Their reasoning is that porn is unhealthy for the kids and it teaches them that women are submissive or whatever.
I guess that gay porn won’t consume credits then because there is no women involved.
It’s just straight up bullshit.
I agree that porn is not good for the brain. And i tends to portray women as submissive. Still, i do not believe it is necesary to ban it outright in this way. What a weird legislation.
