Terrified? Maybe they just calmly rationally don't want them to have access to the best German BDSM content in 4K at an early age?

I was exaggerating a bit for comedic effect. I can completely sympathise with the sentiment.

If there was a way to prove one's identity/age online, double anonymously (so both the website doesn't know who you are, and the identity service doesn't know what website is asking) I'd be a 100% for it. It would prevent minors from accessing stuff they're not ready for (on average), and it would limit the amount of bots and foreign interference.

    If and only if?

    The dispute here is balancing people's human right to wank anonymously against the right of parents (and society's?) to limit access to (absurdly) age inappropriate material.

    What does "ready for" even mean, when is anyone ready for 4k German BDSM.

    There's also this slippery slope argument that preserving the former right is absolutely necessary to prevent creeping fascism. Which is absurd. Shouldn't it be the responsibility of the wankers to create some palatable solution to the conflict of interests, rather than demand the parents figure out how such wankers can preserve their anonymity?

    Parenting is necessary for continuation and health of society. 4k German stuff is not.
