I've just verified my age on XHamster... Serious question.

No, MOST people dont give a fuck. Nearly everyone watches porn. Most people dont want to upload IDs - Most people dont want to have to provide payment information (Unless they have made an informed choice to choose to join a site) - If you are talking about people who have zero intention of ever paying for anything, and just wanna free load - Well who cares?

You are right I dont care who knows that I watch porn - Hell I've been shooting it and producing it and occasionally appearing in it since the mid 1980s...

I'm pretty sure that anyone who says 'I dont want anyone to know I watch porn' just wanna freeload anonymously. As they probably have done for years...

If most people were that worried, there would never have been the booming paysite business that there was...

TL:DR - I dissagree with your assumption.

Thanks. But the question is will they need to do this every time you look at the site? I assume not. I was just wondering how in future they would know it's you and that you had been verified.

part of it is to make an account - you dont have to give real name or 'real' email address if you are not wanting to do so - A working email, yes, but not your main one...

Then you are logged in when you visit and its all good...

Thanks. I thought of that after I'd posted. Makes a lot of sense.

So would you rather get verified or get a vpn ?

Not really relevant tbh - I'm simply giving my comments on my experience with age verification, based on going through the process itself - Much like used I occasionally used to join paysites, simply in order to see how a customer experienced it...

Tell 'average joe' he has to pay a fee to see a tour, upload ID or give his CC, and he will no doubt be learning about VPNs real soon - Tell him he just needs to do a 10 second face scan, and its just business as usual... That was my point...

Well face scan seems cheaper

Verify your ass, wimp . . .

face scan is not going to pass any legal age verification test. there's no way that's UK compliant without holding up an ID or dropping a credit card.

it would suck ass to have to pay a couple bucks to see a tour, but not bad if getting verified once lets you see tours and free content on a thousand sites. if you live in a shitty place, AV is your burden to carry. thank a politician

i'm pushing ageverification.org verifications to PornCMS site owners (as per my thread lol). it costs the customer $1.88 but it works on any other site using that verification.

they updated their codebase and now the embed code has geo targeting. you just drop the embed code at the bottom of the body tag and it will redirect to the verification page if its required in the visitor's state or country (assuming they don't know how VPN works).

there's a checkbox on the Verify page that says they will Notify you when new sites start using ageverification.org. so that's interesting. maybe they'll publish a list?

we are coming full circle back to AV networks of the late 90s. Verify at one site and you are verified on hundreds or thousands of others.

we have to adopt an industry standard for that to work, so i am nominating ageverification.org. that way we all get promoted by them.

The age false positives and negatives graph on Yoti's own white paper prove face scanning is worthless, no matter how "easy" it is.

The endgame goal is obvious.

Selling wigs and false beards looks like a promising business in this context

Thats kind of expensive for free tube traffic...interresting.

Im wondering if somehow it could link to a google account? Meaning that you have a google account (either your real one, or one you setup specially) and you do one verification on that - Then, if a site can offer you a google login (log in with your google account) that account could be verified wherever you use it?

Meaning that anywhere that has the login with google can use that as a verification? OK, it doesn't solve the entire problem, but its a step towards a universal 'One Time Verification' scheme that 'could possibly' be used by operators across a range of sites as a 'Free Method' of verification?

ya i think the big issue right now is what the fuck qualifies as age verification?

UK is just deciding on a case by case basis? there's no guidelines?

some are saying a credit card isn't age verification because it can be borrowed or stolen. they will only accept ID verification?

i like the verified by Google/Apple/Tinder idea

Yes, all unknown atm, but interesting times ahead. My only thought would be that if they are not going to say face is acceptable, why would Xhamster be spending money on getting me face ID'd?

But as you say, no one knows yet...
