    Put in a parental filter then. You are trying to ruin the accessibility of the internet. What is a person from another country going to do when they don’t have a US ID or whichever country is trying this? The internet doesn’t have regions and people will move on to seedier websites that aren’t based in that country anymore. You can see that with the several states that banned porn without ID. Most porn sites are still available without ID and big names like Pornhub can easily be accessed with a VPN that kids are constantly being advertised about by YouTube ad-reads. Requiring ID won’t make kids safer, it’ll just make the internet a headache to use and a source of identity theft when websites get hacked.

      There is a solution that I don’t have and people like you are unable to even imagine, but the internet will not be the Wild West forever.

        I have to share how much joy this brought me- reading it in a comically exaggerated villain voice.
