El Gobierno ha presentado este lunes su sistema de verificaci�n de la mayor�a de edad en el acceso a contenidos para adultos en internet. La herramienta finalmente escogida,...
“When we evaluate how minors interact with the internet, for 90% of them it is their first way of getting to know about sexuality. From there, 50% of them recognise that they generate imitation and even with approaches that have domination as a central element. There is an enormous distortion in the way they are going to develop their sexuality”, she stressed. [via DeepL, emphasis mine]
Hmmmmm, if only there was a way to educate minors about sexuality before they ultimately turn to internet because adults just ignore the problem.
Edit:
Incibe is also collaborating, which is checking that browsers “control access based on URLs” to prevent access to minors. Cabanillas said that “a black list” of browsers that do not do so will be created.
It’s a miracle politicians aren’t targeted by scammers more frequently, given they have no idea how internet works.

Lots of children have access to the internet at a very young age. I guess what you’re suggesting is sex education for 7-year-olds who might accidentally watch a video on the school yard, etc.? In fact, even 3-year-olds often use their parents’ tablet to watch P*w P*trol and may wander off with it.
uh yes, in fact, I think that would be very healthy. Not in a horrific South Park way, but in a “sometimes adults get naked because they like each other. And sometimes they film it. If someone shows you a video if that, it’s okay to not want to watch it. It’s okay to walk away. I someone pressures you to watch it, it’s okay to tell an adult” way.
It’s pretty easy to install device-based “parental control”-types of software that can’t be circumvented by a 3yo. That is definitely the parents’ job.
Whether a 7-year-old sees adult content accidentally, intentionally, because of peer pressure or any other reason, I still think age appropriate sex ed would be helpful. I acknowledge that minors do view inappropriate content and that it is generally unhealthy, but since it can happen, and does happen, a good approach would be to educate them preemptively.
For example, these guildelines for sex ed in EU, which caused some outrage in conservative circles a few years back, suggest that “sex in media and dealing with it” is a topic for 6 to 9-year-olds.
Of course you can’t cover every outlier, but can you really stop 5th graders from sending weird shit to their friends because they’re trying to be edgy?
Edit:
Another way to think about it:
Was the content accessed accidentally? If so, I would argue this law misses the point and better moderation would be more effective and also less, y’know, surveillance state adjacent
Was the content accessed intentionally? In this case, sex ed would probably help
