"It is easy for an underaged purchaser to go online and click they are of legal age, purchase ammunition, and have it shipped to their house," added Magers

WTF America, do amo marketplaces really have the same security standards as p**nhub ?

Don't be silly. Porn sites could permanently scar kids for life when they see a nipple, obviously they need much better protection than something benign like shipping explosives to their house /s

Don't you need to provide an ID to verify your age for porn in some states?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Yup, in my state (Utah), there's no required legal process to carry a firearm concealed, and you can buy a firearm w/o any required checks from a private seller (not ammo though), but you need to prove your age to access porn. That seems a little... odd.

Idk, but in EU I think this wouldn't be a legitimate use of such sensitive data.
