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?

            Yet theyre not a surveillance state to the same extend as the EU. So overall better I think.

              Then there’s the fact that they don’t give a damn about what people do in Europe or America. As a matter of fact, to them porn and similar content is a sure way to self-destruction, so “when your enemy is doing something stupid, don’t interfere” comes into place. It’s highly unlikely they’ll block this for other countries.
