This is the way imo. Unlike globohomo Nikki Haley's "show ID to use the internet", it should be "show ID to access porn", just like you'd have to to buy wine online etc. Furthermore, the internet is the digital public square and just like in public you have certain establishments which MUST card you for entry (bars, clubs, whorehouses where legal, etc) and a most important point is this is illegal outside of those establishments. You can't just sell beer on the street or have a stripper pole on the corner.
This will lead to porn being cleaned up off the clearweb and only accessable to age-verified patrons on porn sites. And surely there will be penalties for someone who distributes porn outside of porn sites, say on twitter, or wherever. As for twitter they would need to set up a portal or something into "twitterxxx" if users want that content still... because as it is now children are logging on twitter every day and using it like pornhub, and hell, children are using pornhub too.
The systems are already in place---go buy some vapes or alcohol online right now, you will have to enter your name, DOB, address etc, and in 30secs it will run your info through some background check type of thing and verify your age. Maybe this could also be abused but it's a start
You don’t think that there would be a black market???
This would sort of be a special case though, seeing as it's already free, and the only people who would be "clients" of said black market would be underage...or married men trying to prevent any sort of paper trail, idk, I still think the idea is the best way forward.
