Besides FAB, I cannot get in any other adult site without age verification.

Will it affect FAB?

What's your experience?

Are there ways around it?

I doubt it will affect fab as this site is helping people adapt to the community/lifestyle meet safely and be comfortable with one another. most other sites brainwash teenagers/men into believing they can act on there fantasies with or without consent due to them watching role play ect also id take it a step further and say most men that watch porn all the time don’t respect women with leads them to treat them like an object rather then a human

The law isn't new though

The online safety act is from 2023 I believe.. all that's been happening is since then they have continued to work to implement areas of it...

So this is a continuation of that implementation to protect what people/children can access in and around pornography and content

At the end of the day no one should have any issue with it -why wouldn't you be able/ok to verify your age

Fab already has the age verification in place.

Our experience is we did the verification as its not a huge deal and it was very quick.

If you want to get around it you use a VPN.

Very noble ideals,Fab.

But you'll happily post pictures of your cock and a partially obscured picture of a woman's face ?

I'm pretty sure identity thefts are possible via any site you provide details for.

I am still struggling to understand why people are getting so upset about this??

All these guy's who are logging in for a wank after their wives have gone to work today are all going to be extra frustrated.

There was nothing to be thieved, I didn’t hand over any identity, FAB are smart enough to know that if I am accessing the site I am on a phone that has been unlocked for 18+ content.

However, I could access any site at home using my own WiFi, the unlocked only applies when you are out and about using data.

I only know this because I have never unlocked my phone and can't access FAB when not at home.

I really do hope Fab will implement ID verification as well...I'm sure there are people that lie about being 18 that are on the site. The most come across issue with fab is the high amount of men who use the website when they're in "heat" searching for a quick wank, leading to abuse against women. Most of those profiles will cease to exist if people would need to provide ID and it would most likely lead to less abuse in general, as people would be much more self controlled once the blanket of anonymity is lifted. People that are serious about joining and being in the community would have no problem providing ID - similar how you have to do when joining a sex club. I'm not an absolutist...I don't want absolute freedom in expense of safety, just like I don't want absolute safety in the expense of freedom, I want a balance between the two - and I think ID verification is part of that balance

I genuinely don’t understand all the fear and noise that this change has caused. I only use this site and don’t use porn sites so maybe that is why it doesn’t impact me but geez the fear seems palpable across so many threads.

No one is asking for ID - in reality you simply have to show to have access to a capability that can only be accessed via a credit card which is why the mobile phone checks work etc.

I didn’t realise how important porn was to so many people - how naive of me.

And in the real world of Fab away from fairytales and unicorns...

I went from fuckable to unfuckable in 60 seconds....

It's not porn that turns (some) men into seeing women as objects it's a (some) man thing....I say it often, grown ass men shouldn't need to be told how to speak to others accordingly...porn or no porn

As for the age verification thing. Good, a long time overdue imho

I very much doubt it will affect here in all honesty, its something which and I'm being honest should have been brought in a while ago.

It literally took less than a minute to do it the face id way, and I'm guessing depending on device/network issues the call way or message way would be about the same.

As for ways around it, there's probably ways already including vpn's etc.

I agree with you that those who are abuse or disrespect women is deeper rooted than just porn alone. It's about what sort of values were inculcated in them while growing up. I don't disrespect women, or anyone.

I think it's long overdue and won't affect my fab experience at all.

Most people have already been age verified easily now anyway.

I think those who are not happy with it, should maybe not use fab then.

If you use the Internet and social media, most of your info will be out there somewhere.
