    How is device-based age verification different?

    You put your device in child safety mode, and it tells sites “I’m a kid, treat me like a kid” – otherwise the site can assume you’re an adult with full rights. Done. No intrusive ID requirements. No face scanning. No third-party payment shakedowns. Parents, in theory, can still stop their five year olds from accidentally accessing PornHub or other content that would disturb them by just clicking a button when they set up an account on the device.

    It’s, frankly, the sane way to do this if we’re going to have age restrictions.

      Mainstream adult sites carry a flag which trips content blockers. Have done for decades. Its all nonsense.
