The Spanish government is introducing a porn passport to help porn platforms
verify users' ages. Slashdot reader fjo3 shares a report from Politico:
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. While the tool has been
criticized for its complexity, the government says the credit-based model is
more privacy-friendly, ensuring that users' online activities are not easily
traceable. The system will be available by the end of the summer. It will be
voluntary, as online platforms can rely on other age-verification methods to
screen out inappropriate viewers. It heralds an EU law going into force in
October 2027, which will require websites to stop minors from accessing porn.
Eventually, Madrid's porn passport is likely to be replaced by the EU's very
own digital identity system (eIDAS2) -- a so-called wallet app allowing people
to access a smorgasbord of public and private services across the whole bloc.
