Whether age verification is a justified idea or not, it feels awfully like the UK is createing a new generation of single-issue voters here.
Even wilder, they're lowering voting age to 16 [0]. So there would be a demographic group who can vote but cannot watch porn...?
Or watch certain films because they can’t be trusted to contextualise them correctly. It’s pretty absurd.
Well, you cannot drink alcohol if you are less than 21 in the USA, but you can vote.
You can also be drafted and/or die in a war. Absolutely absurd to think someone is old enough to enlist, but not have a beer
Its an easy distinction. In war you can be controlled, when you are drunk you cannot.
