Hilarious, so that’ll be us and fucking Mormon-run Utah that require that.
Will they have a frequent flyer programme too?
Porn sites *may* also provide you with a free pizza after a wank, but they won’t.
Typical rag journalism to pick something salacious and present a possibility as if it is a surefire thing
The sound of VPNs rubbing their hands together is so loud right now.
Ask parents to actually parent their children and have conversations about sex and monitor their content intake OR overthink this shit and introduce a bunch of laws and requirements that include giving your passport info the dodgy Cyprus companies if daddy want to wack it to Eva Elfie.
At most, why not just have a basic toggle on the ISP / mobile account side that is “porn. YES/NO” that the account holder can control?
Every place that has floated this seemed to just want to ban porn outright due to weird religious / conservative views of the decisions makers and not actually give a shit about children so I would be interested if someone looked into the higher ups of Coimisiún na Meán
Oh no! Anyway *click* (Turns on VPN)… back to porn.
I also like that some people apparently believe that forcing ID checks on a handful of porn sites is gonna make the internet a safe place for children.
Imagine little Johnny using his dad passport only for his mum to find out her husband is on porn websites
Not this stupid shite again…
How exactly would that even work?
Suppose you haven’t got a passport (or a driving licence for example) not everyone does and accessing smut is a weird reason to get one!
People, when they see you with your passport in your pocket..
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that your privacy is under threat to some seriously incompetent governments.
Kids have had easy access to porn now for over thirty years.
Why the sudden concern?
Back in the day you’d just find it in hedges as if dropped by the porn fairy.
Ireland really is turning into a nanny state. All sorts of ridiculous laws around alcohol, what you can say and now this.
Really feels like the catholic Ireland of the 1950s.
Turns out we like the misery.
Time to start making poitin and smuggling Playboy back in.
The security and privacy implications of such a law are insane. Do the government really want the highly trustworthy people who run porn sites collecting all that information? I can see them selling that info to third parties… by accident.
How about parents stop giving their brats phones and internet access until they are actually old enough to use and understand it.
They should go after shitty parents instead of my crippling porn addiction.
The front page of any porn site as it checks your location provides a very eye opening array of Irish tastes. 😀
Bravo to the person who puts their passport details in 😄
Passport number x27 likes rubber chickens do you also like rubber chickens.
Love it when people that have no idea how the internet works open their mouth.
So *the STATE* want people to give their most valuable documents to some of the shadiest people on the web? (Many with serious criminal connections.) Sounds like a great plan. They can then use these documents for their side hustle of forged documents. Perfect. What could go wrong?
They trotted out this shit in the UK too. Not the I’d checks, just the announcement. Distraction politics
These sort of stories always seem to run in early January. I always imagine some politician sat at his laptop trying to give up his massive porn addiction as a new year’s resolution and taking it out on the entire country.
I highly doubt that.
Seems like a breach of GDPR is being suggested.
The Nanny state grows stronger.Does this mean a bunch of folk are going to drive over the border and use Mcdonalds wifi in the car pack for a bit of fun?
Not gonna happen
I remember the UK or was it France was gonna bring this in approx 5-10 years ago
Ah yes this will definitely work. Because all the porn is on clearly labelled porn sites and not on practically anything with a network connection and all social media and messaging apps, games, p2p, torrents, etc etc etc

God bless Opera Mini back in the day.

“Where are you off to? Anywhere nice?”
If you feel strongly enough about it, you can [give your feedback](https://www.cnam.ie/extended-deadline-consultation-on-draft-online-safety-code-and-related-matters/) on it til the 30th of January. I would encourage you to do so, as this is a serious encroachment to your online privacy whether you’re a porn user or not.
There has been a trend in using ‘child safety’ as a scapegoat to more actively monitor citizens for anti terror activities. You can see the EU is already trying this by trying to nefearuous shit like forcing companies to [scan all your communications and photos](https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/10/19/planned-eu-laws-on-child-sexual-abuse-have-sparked-a-bitter-privacy-row-why#:~:text=The%20EU's%20planned%20laws%20would,’%20communications%2C%20including%20encrypted%20messages), and some countries are even trying to [ban end to end encryption](https://www.wired.com/story/europe-break-encryption-leaked-document-csa-law/).
