A House of Commons committee is set to study legislation proposed by Independent Sen. Julie Miville-Dechêne that would require Canadians to verify their age to access porn online.

What I am saying is eventually we’ll need to have a better age verification process than that.

I don’t want to provide my full identity, it would be cool for a zero trust information exchange. This sort of thing is being worked out already with OIDC. Allow the site access to ONLY the information it needs, in that instance age.

I am saying eventually we will have to get there, I don’t have to agree with it and neither do you. But it’s happening.

I don’t mean to argue in favor of what is being done here, I’m saying at some point we will need a better system and these things will have to happen and fighting AGAINST them is probably less beneficial than fighting for the system to be done properly.

These current events are a good place for us to highlight how dumb it’s being done.

"Better" than what, and how, exactly?

OIDC still needs you to trust one of the parties. Who should I both trust with my age online, and would be fine with letting know where and when I'm trying to jerk off?

There's no doing this kind of thing "properly". One absolutely should fight against idiotic laws.
