    UK users need photo ID to view any adult content on the internet. Those subs often include gore. I don’t understand what point the author is trying to make.

      a lot of the discussion about “require age verification to view adult content” tends to oversimplify “adult content == pornography”

      which in turn means opposition to these laws gets dismissed / trivialized as “oh, so you want children to look at porn then?”

      I think it’s an important reminder that “adult content” is much broader than 13 year olds who want to go to PornHub and search “boobies”
