Madrid unveils a digital wallet to help porn platforms verify users’ ages.

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

    I didn’t say track, I said control access. I know my fellow Americans tend to bristle at the idea of doing anything for the common good, but I personally feel that the danger of unregulated media and internet access has been well demonstrated in the past hundred years, and that not regulating it in some capacity is just as negligent as not regulating firearm ownership or toxins in the food.
