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.

You have to request more porn credits from the government if you need more? Don't want the government to be tracking this data of you. This is a privacy issue

Idiots. I'm certain that absolutely no one wants this. What a shit show.

Shit show you say? That's one token down

Porn is everywhere. It's an endless battle.

The internet should simply be 18+ only at this point.

There's no way to enforce that outside of parental Intervention, which won't happen.

I strongly disagree. The porn is a huge issue, but there are a lot of actually useful websites where kids and teens can learn about their interests. Gatekeeping all that knowledge would make young people significantly less knowledgeable

Unironically: child safe websites should be under a separate DNS provider from your ISP, provided via a separate ISP router or modem. Setup a separate national level routing.

Seriously. Kids get curated internet only, adults get the firehose.

The idea of porn credits and voluntarily giving the government a list of everything you look at is utter insanity.

Wait....I want to be "Secretario de Pornabilidad Social" or "Secretary or Social Probability"

I imagine my self going through all the SSN... Sexual Super Numbers to manage access and report usage.

1335346755 watched 6 hours per day of mostly vanilla doggy.

2356544677 more doggie

More doggie.... doggie again. But every now and then.... 1257678965534 watched 72 consecutive hours of BDSM where the sub faces downward into a hole in the floor where a camera.....then the last does the same and the video cuts to another similar one. We must report this immediately to the right authority!

Wait, what are the credits for? You spend them to watch porn or what? So when you're out of credits you're locked out? Sorry but... wtf?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I wonder if threesomes burn through the credits faster. Group kinks are going to be expensive.

And then when it doesn't work because of the laws of nature, they can block filesharing sites on account of porning kids up without requiring porn credits.

Iirc Spain is one of those countries that makes you install a cert to use some of their government services, which they can then use to MITM all your https connections

Ok tinfoil hat time.

Perhaps this government anti-porn law stuff is backed by people who actually want to dismantle government altogether. And not in a fun Communist way but in a privatize everything, corporate serfdom way.

By pushing for the government to do stupid and unpopular things, they can get people mad at the very concept of government. They can then use that to dismantle things like nationalized health care, fire departments, whatever.

I see Spain wants ALL of my money. Sucks for them I don't live there and even if I did, I'm better at Internet than their legislators.
