I think the paper was right.

Spain did what
España creó un pasaporte blockchain para ver por alguna razón, porque supongo que los tiddies ponen nerviosas a algunas personas.

¿Qué?
This could be the right time to use an interrobang.
interrobang.
I know it's a real thing, but I still think of a sexy FBI agent every time I see "interrobang"

Is it Blockchain based though?
It is a shitty porn passport, I'm Spanish, but I didn't hear that it was Blockchain based.
Why? It needs a centrar register not an uncentralized one.
Yeah, I was just looking through some documentation on it. It says it uses a "digital wallet". Maybe people are seeing that and thinking that means it's blockchain-based? I'm not seeing anything more solid claiming there's any blockchain involved, though. (I'm not 100% certain there isn't any blockchain involved, though.)
It's BS either way. Extra super plus plus BS if it's blockchain-based. But still BS even if there's no blockchain involved.
A blockchain does not mean decentralized. It means a public ledger where each new item validates the one(s) before it
Do they need blockchain for it though?
No. This won't work any better, either. Keeping anonymous porn off the internet is like trying to prevent kids from fooling around with sex by not telling them about sex.
Unless you're removing their genitals, they're GOING to figure it out. The situation only gets worse with more ignorance and more control.
Children almost infinite free time, creative mind and bored. They will find what they want to find.
Then tell them to not do X, they gonna put ALL their energy to do X. Cannot stop them, only work with them.
Just tell them not to do Y then, problem solved.

https://www.politico.eu/article/spain-builds-porn-passport-to-stop-kids-watching-smut/ I guess this? Wild stuff.
bit of a futile endeavour tbh, if a kid with access to the Internet wants to see porn, they're going to find porn. And if they don't have access to the basic sources they'll probably find a more dodgy, unmoderated, and possibly extreme porn than if their curiosity got sated by pornhub or something
Agreed. Even going back to sharing stuff via Whatsapp or something like that, they are going to evade control for sure. But when will society be ready to just be honest with kids about what exists and teach them how to safely explore that and give them context? I guess we'd rather have dystopian control than that
Yeah, I'm not sure why so many adults try so desperately to forget what they were like as kids and teenagers. Rather than stop their biological urges, curb them or direct them towards safe release. Letting them figure it out on their own, and how else can they if you don't actually teach them, is a recipe for disaster.
Two of the best ways to reduce teen pregnancy are sex education and easy access to contraceptives.

Guy who wrote a paper about Blockchain doesn't know the difference between a "digital wallet" and Blockchain...

Why would anyone chain their porn?
Cockchains are not for that. Not really for anything, but not for that too.
What about all the games where you can shoot people? Why is that okay for kids, but a little tit here and there will destroy their view of the world?
Didn't these things get their starts by sucking on tits? So why hide them now?
There is this famous spanish porn actor. Nacho vidal, who says that we would have a better world is kids would play around with plastic dildos instead of plastic guns.
I don't know the playing with plastic dildos, but it is true how wild is the normalization of giving kids a replica of a human killing instrument to play with.

Not sure why everybody needs a copy of my, I mean, somebody's porn passport.
I used to suck dick for blockcain..still do... but I used to too
I wonder how many sites will bother checking for Spanish pornpasses. Seems they're just playing people and waiting for the inevitable, "Turns out the Internet isn't respecting our kids, we need to ratchet up the control. We tried to give you a good deal though, right?"

One of the things blockchain could do is become a digital proof of ownership, augmenting or replacing things like property deeds and car titles. We already agree that a written record of ownership of such things is legally binding (even if the writing is stored digitally), but transfer of that ownership to another person is still a very manual process. Imagine an NFT that represents ownership of your house, and when you want to sell your house, you transfer that NFT to someone else's custody - adding their ownership information to it. It would record the entire chain of ownership, and specific details about the piece of property involved.
Without law enforcement, which is centralized anyway, your documented ownership is worthless. So if the state or a similar centralized real life organization, whiches existence people agree on, is needed to grant and enforce that ownership, blockchain is unnecessary. They can instead just store that shit in a database.
And who would the largest nodes on that blockchain be? The banks? Who could say and do whatever they conspired since they command >50% of the computing power and/or value?
The average person isn’t going to build a fucking blockchain node just to keep the deed to their house.
