Can someone explain it to Europeans?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Several states with republican leadership have required identification to view sites that have "adult content". You technically can still access it without a VPN in these states, but I'm not trusting these sites with personally identifying information. Depending on the state I think you have to upload an image of your ID and other information. It's really sketchy.

What the fucking fuck. In Europe this would cause French and Germans combined beheading entire governments. One thing I want to keep to myself is my porn choices. Giving my ID to a porn site sounds like a big fucking NO

Thats odd. I seem to remember the UK's IWF breaking Wikipedia trying to block a CD album image. Must have been an illusion

Could you theoretically fake the ID cards with image-generating AI?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I think they're looked up to verify they're authentic. I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure that's the case. If it isn't then it'd be easier to just take an image of a real ID and modify it rather than using image generation to hope it comes out correct.
