First of all yes.

Secondly, it's the dumbest comparison anyone could possibly make.

The difference with a porn website is as follows:

- the age check on porn sites are notoriously dumb and useless, it's literally a meme. It was a meme before there were memes.

- I choose to go on porn sites. It's not exactly a requirement that I get access to a porn site. Access to my OS on my device to work, have fun or do whatever I want privately is kind of a lot more necessary.

"Zero knowledge proof". Yeah OK. I've got a few dozen bridges to sell you. Interested?

That at least explains a fair bit.

> the age check on porn sites are notoriously dumb and useless

That they have been useless is hardly an argument that's relevant to the current discussion.

> I choose to go on porn sites. It's not exactly a requirement that I get access to a porn site.

Indeed.

> Access to my OS on my device to work, have fun or do whatever I want privately is kind of a lot more necessary.

Sure, but that is an entirely different discussion.

Anyway, if you had some actual substance to your flippant dismissal it could perhaps lead to some interesting discussion.
