El Mundo according to google translate:
The problem is that the Agency only has powers for companies and internet providers with their main establishment in Spain and that is why it seeks to extend its project worldwide.
For this reason, in addition to explaining it in the US and before the EC, it has been presented to the Plenary of the European Data Protection Committee, where work is being done under age verification criteria and it is expected that some criteria will be approved before the summer based on the Spanish proposal.
Lmao
Podrán usar tres veces la misma credencial dentro de la misma plataforma. | They may use the same credentials 3 times within the same platform
Uh, is that supposed to be 3 times per month? Like, you can only visit sadpanda 3 times a month or something?
También se contempla una modificación de la Ley General de Telecomunicaciones para que la Comisión Nacional del Mercado de la Competencia (CNMC) pueda bloquear de aquellas plataformas o páginas con contenidos pornográficos si no incorporan mecanismos de verificación de la edad efectivos. Para tal fin, el Gobierno está en conversaciones con proveedores de internet como Movistar o Vodafone con el fin de que permitan bloquear estas páginas. | It’s also being contemplated a modification to the General Telecommunications Law so that the National Market Competency Comission may block those platforms or pages with pornographic contents if they don’t incorporate effective age verification mechanisms. For this, the Government is in talks with internet providers such as Movistar and Vodafone, so they may block these pages
Good luck blocking whatever “kids” with intent end up finding on a DDG with Safesearch: Off.
For now, it only applies for sites hosted in Spain, but they want to have it apply to anything based off Ireland (IT tax haven)
La herramienta se ha incorporado dentro de “la cartera digital española” (…) incluye una credencial que “es anónima” y “respeta el principio de protección de datos de minimización de la información intercambiada”. | The tool has been incorporated inside the “digital spanish identity card” (…) it includes a credential that “is anonymous” and “respects the principles of data protection of minimization of interchanged information”
Oh nice, just what people need/want, the fucking government spying on your porn searches.
Regarding the 30 accesses/tokens pack, it’s supposed to be something you can just input on a porn site and access it without being asked for an age verification. And yeah, you only get to use/access one site 3 times per pack, no reason was given.
It’s good that the article also has a talk with a cybersecurity guy, who plainly points out that the govt isn’t trustworthy for keeping the data secret/anonymous, and that the whole idea “is horrible [and what you expect] from the worst dictatorships”
Para entender el enorme riesgo tan solo basta con imaginar por un momento una filtración de datos de los solicitantes del carnet, o una futura instrumentalización política del sistema con el fin de restringir el acceso a la información del color que no guste al gobierno de turno | To understand the huge risk, just imagine for a moment a filtering of the data of the people who ask for the card, or a future political handling of the system with the intent of restricting access to the information that the government at the time dislikes
They don’t want to block site from Spain+ireland. They want to block sites from Spain. Later on they also want social media to also enforce this ban.
Ireland is only mentioned because it’s the preferred tax haven for tech companies in Europe. They’re not targeting Ireland in particular.
I don’t use this term often, but which smoothbrain thought of this? 30 tokens per month (so, 30 individual visits per month, never mind if you can’t find what you’re looking for on that particular site or just plain want to see it more often), and then only 3 visits per site. I’m sorry, what? Did someone in that panel own a bunch of unknown porn sites or something?
There is this browser using the Onion Network.
Indeed, and other several ways to avoid the measure. I’m not even sure how they are technically going to try to implement this, but except banning VPNs, good luck.
The Onion network is too slow for porn. You’d also take away bandwidth from other people who arguably benefit more from it.
An infringement on the right to privacy, a government being invasive where it has no business being.
