I'm curious to know what kind of hoops people have to jump through to verify their age to watch porn?

I mean, how is age verified without identity verification and/or risk of privacy breaches? Do phones or emails get notifications or alerts? Do you have to do it each and every time et al?

I supposed I'm puzzled as to why anyone would risk watching porn if an app or entity is out there 'verifying' something, and (presumably) these things can be exploited or hacked.

I'm also assuming (hoping) that there are some hackers out there who are working on a workaround or add on.

thanks

My state requires age identification.

Non-US owned/friendly porn sites (xvids) simply work like normal. They don’t care.

The big US name site (ph) blocks the whole site and show a video saying that age verification sucks so they’ll just block the whole states’ users. VPN bypasses easily.

Not sure how other sites handle. I just checked those 2. I’m not a big pron guy tbh.
