Madrid unveils a digital wallet to help porn platforms verify users\u2019 ages.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1160,height=773,quality=80,onerror=redirect,format=auto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/03\/iStock-1525301733-scaled.jpg\")

The Spanish government has a plan to prevent kids from watching porn online: Meet the porn passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officially (and drily) called the Digital Wallet Beta (Cartera Digital Beta<\/a>), the app Madrid unveiled on Monday would allow internet platforms to check whether a prospective smut-watcher is over 18. Porn-viewers will be asked to use the app to verify their age. Once verified, they’ll receive 30 generated \u201cporn credits\u201d with a one-month validity granting them access to adult content. Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the tool has been criticized for its complexity, the government says the credit-based model is more privacy-friendly, ensuring that users’ online activities are not easily traceable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system will be available by the end of the summer. It will be voluntary, as online platforms can rely on other age-verification methods to screen out inappropriate viewers. It heralds an EU law going into force in October 2027, which will require websites to stop minors from accessing porn.
Eventually, Madrid’s porn passport is likely to be replaced by the EU\u2019s very own digital identity system (eIDAS2) \u2014 a so-called wallet app allowing people to access a smorgasbord of public and private services across the whole bloc.
