El Reg talks to PornHub sister biz AgeID – and an indie pornographer – about age verification

People will go the path of least resistance (not necessarily the path of least cost). The path of least resistance is a VPN. Nobody gets a copy of your passport, your spouse is less likely to find that "new email address just used for testing" and everyone's happy. This age ID thing needs to be global really, but that'll hurt income too much.

By "people" I do mean those both permitted and not permitted to view the stuff.
