Good idea but approach it from the perspective of "risk" to the sites. Understandably they have put these processes in place because they lost a ton of money from being sued for having underage content and poor verification processes in place that allowed under-age audience. Customers would not want their data (profiles, browsing habits, etc.) revealed in a breach and managing all of that in one place is a huge risk. A third party platform that handles the verification is a good idea. You can extend this to other industries as well. There's your million dollar idea. Run with it.
1st, I'll say I'm not trying to disrespect or troll you or anyone else. So, we can be adults and just have a conversation about this.
2nd, I've been a sex worker since the 90s. I was a stripper, a pornstar, pornographer and now 'content creator.' It's the pornographer side of my experiences and personality that's speaking here.
OK....
(-A-) Risk is where the porn game has been historically played. The FBI went after pornographers in the 70s and 80s. The courts went after us in the early 90s. (Even I got arrested once)
-- The quickest and most logical fix to government over-reach is register domains and host outside of USA and Europe's influence.
(-B-) Anyone who truly wants to protect children should push that adult content go back to a bricks and morter offline store. (I support keeping porn out of the hands of kids and I WANT things to go back to the offline store)
(-C-) Underage content is already all over the Internet. Despite government and law enforcement efforts, it's getting worse. 90%+ of CSAM is passed by in private on non-adult social media platforms and using messengers like Telegram and Signal. -- But I agree that tube sites like P*rn hub need to be shut down because the general public should not have access to an upload button.
(-D-) All these sites which impliment the "verification process" are giving government and law enforcement unmonitored and open backdoor access to their database
