I’m asking because I just had to verify my age thanks to YouTube requiring me to watch a video that was age restricted.
minus-squareamniotic druid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoNo. Just exit to a country/state that doesn’t require age checks. Porn sites are not wasting any more effort than they have to checking IDs in places that don’t require it
minus-squareJohnnyEnzyme@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoYes, but I’m not just talking about porn, and I do think some sites enforce age checks regardless of local or international law. But… that’s just an impression, and I haven’t done anything remotely like a full test, so far. (see the sibling comment)
