No more just clicking 'I am over 18': Stricter age checks on porn

Digitalisation Minister Christina Egelund promises action after DR has uncovered that children as young as eight are being exposed to hardcore pornography online. Currently, access often requires only a click on 'I am over 18 years old.' But inspired by the UK, stricter age verification may now be on the way. There, users must, for example, confirm their age with a photo or credit card. In Denmark, the AltID app already exists, which only requires new legislation before it can be used on porn sites.
