Already broken using 19 year old Garry's mod, a half life 2 mod. I have also seen it broken with death stranding 2.

Pretty soon people will be writing AI prompts for this too.

Reality is going to destroy the ability to ever enforce any of this.

I am dying from laughter at this.

Doesn't a VPN overcome all these age limit sites. These are all feel good laws for parents who aren't parenting.

VPN just allows you to obfuscate your IP address allowing you to view content restricted by geographical location, it doesn't affect age verification mechanisms.

I used a VPN when tiktok wasn't allowed in the U.S. Had to let the British people know they still suck.

Not one time did the VPN app ask for my age.
Dead people are notoriously bad at returning calls.

It does if those age verification mechanisms are based on location.

Did you just admit you're on TikTok?

It's true, this is what will happen to every company who uses foreigners to program these things and it's a guarantee every company who implements these systems will do it.

But it allows you to access sites and claim to be from states that don't have it. I use a VPN to make SpankBang and pornhub think I'm from New Mexico to bypass their age verification to comply with Texas law.

I just want to congratulate you for getting the VA to pay for your SpankBang premium (or Varsity) as part of your disability package. Keep up the good work!

(And this is obviously intended as a good hearted joke)
