sexy_peachI think they meant verification in the sense of a popup that asks you.
BentiGorlichNope I meant real verification. Pornhub doesn't require it, because the server and the company are not stated in Germany. Imo all porn site should have real verification instead of the "I am 18 or older" popup, that literally does nothing to prevemt minors from seeing porn.
thisI guess thats a problem specifically for nsfw instances in Germany then.
i'm confused how it will work in the case that you view content from an instance in US through an instance in Germany. So your url will be the one of the german instance and it looks like the content comes from there, even though it is not. I guess it will end up instances blocking other instances that don't share the same policies, resulting that effectively you would not be able to see such content at all. Unless there is another legal approach
The German instance might need to check the flag on the content against the flag on the user before rendering the page for the federated content.
this makes sense. My question (at least in mind) was more broader, like issues that may come up for content showing as it is hosting in instance X which is based somewhere where Y is illegal, while in fact the content itself will be hosted elsewhere where such law doesn't exist. I'm not talking only for NSFW content.
