| Great news, hope many more countries follow suit. Like banning the sale of nicotine products to under-16s, it won't be a perfect solution as a few will continue to work around the restriction, but it's a huge step in the right direction. |

| I like this. I'm just worried that it's going to make it way harder to create new independent small websites, if the webmasters have to check their users' age. |

I'm generally supportive of bans like this, but I don't want it to come at the expense of the privacy of adult users. I fear this is the way we're going in the west. | |
