Comment Physical shop are required to do age verification (Score 1) 159
Furthermore when kid leave the parents watching , and internet is one point of that, any kid worth their salt can tell you how to get surfing without parent watching, parent have to expect porn/alcohol/drug outfit to NOT SELL to minor. You tried to buy porn, alcohol with under 18/21 in a street shop ? Without a fake ID good luck to that - at least for the responsible shops. Physical shop always HAD to verify age for some type of goods. Online shop simply were up to now utterly lax into that verification, dragging feet and having a laughable pop up "I am 18" : imagine alcohol selling joint , or porn cinema having just a "pinky swear you are an adult" policy... No, the reality is that online outfit simply flaunted the law on age verification - because they don't want the expanse.
