They’re actually isn’t any good way to do this. This is not a better way because in order to enforce it you would have to change what Linux is fundamentally and that’s bad for everybody.
The solution to the problem of some people doing bad things in private is not to eliminate privacy. That actually can’t be considered as a component of the solution. I don’t know what the solution to that problem is but eliminating privacy is a bigger problem and won’t solve it.
IMO the real solution to preventing kids getting into adult content is for Governments to agree on and enforce a universal set of parental controls that every program and website has to respect. Put the onus on parents to make sure their kids aren’t doing that stuff.
But that’s not the world we’re working with. Instead Governments have decided they’re going to play nanny, and it would appear nobody is taking no for an answer.
So from a practical perspective, if I’m going to have to play along, I’d much rather my own computer handle my sensitive data locally and prove my age for me, than multiple fuckwits’ servers off who-knows-where holding onto that data per website I want to visit.
