    I used a photo I found online from my local governments department of transport. The name was “Sam S. Sample” with a photo of Mr Bean. So far Reddit, discord, and pornhub have all accepted it.

    I’m in my 30s but fuck giving my government ID to random American corporations with a history of data breaches.

        I am in Australia where they have banned under 16s from using social media and porn. In reality it’s just forced adults to upload ID to various websites and kids just use vpns

      I let my license expire once by accident. Found out when I was running an instacart order after work. Figure if I’m going to already drive 50 miles home, mine as well have some stops and make back the gas money. Finished shopping and the person at the counter told me I couldn’t check out because I may have been in my mid thirties last week, but that has since expired so I am infact no longer a person, lol.

      Pain in the ass.

    Yeah I’ve seen a bunch of these. It’s pretty clear that ID verification is just a drag net to catch the uninformed or stupid people which is going to be like 70% of traffic anyway.

    I fucked up and in a moment of desperation to buy an age controlled substance I uploaded mine to a verifier.
