EU parliament accepted a last minute amendment, mandating age verification for pornographic (whatever that is) content online, punishable with up to one year prison sentence.
This was rolled into a directive concerning CSAM. Because adults accessing porn need to be de-anonymised to avoid child exploitation?
I believe the idea (in an ideal world) is that Website A requests data from Service B, which then asks about you to government C. So Government C doesn’t know what you’re asking about, and the Website A doesn’t know who you are. That does mean Service B would have to be trusted / vetted, which might relocate the problem but it would be easier to verify (FOSS for example) than trusting your government to not put you on a list.
