And all service providers/hosts around the world are expected to comply.

Here’s one summary of the looming access control measures.

Reading and understanding all this (and the linked sources) feels so… difficult, obtuse, complex.

      Yeah. But the important question is where should we choose as our exit server. The UK is no good. Certain states in the US. European countries have rules. Are there any vpn servers in Africa or the Cayman Islands?

        This is the real problem. As more and more countries push for laws like this I think sites will just adopt blanket age-verification for simplicity’s sake instead of having to constantly keep track of which countries/states in countries require it

      Don’t you guys have some form of government ID that almost anybody can forge? Or is it an old thing?

        You mean Adhaar ? If yes then, it is still valid and effectively used.

          Great. Can you forge a new one? Get a new ID. Make yourself 10yrs younger/older.
          Then watch all the porn you want.
          Simple.

            Impossible. Adhaar must be updated within 10 years and even i need adhaar for purchasing a sim card or having a bank account. Keeping a fake or impersonated adhaar is a crime. They don’t allow it, until someone notices it.
