I come from a land downunder, and many people are up in arms about everyone having to verify their age and/or id in order to watch (say) pron.

Given the collective desire for privacy and security, most are not willing to upload their personal details to a porn site (or a company affiliated with one) and are opting to subscribe to a VPN instead. Alternatively, they - ok, we - are looking for a browser add-on that automates (or falsifies) the process.

Does anyone know which countries do not require age verification or of apps et al that circumvent the process? I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the latter is made available if it isn't already.

thanks

march update ☞ Turkey's ruling party submits bill to ban social media for under-15s https://www.reuters.com/technology/turkeys-ruling-party-submits-bill-ban-social-media-under-15s-2026-03-04/

With the bill, Turkey is following the example of Australia, several European countries and others ​which have adopted or are considering similar restrictions, amid ​mounting concerns over the impact of social media ⁠on children's health and safety.

The Turkish bill would require ​social media providers to set up age‑verification systems and to ​offer parental control tools to ensure the safety of children in the digital world.
