  • The Spanish Government has implemented a new system to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content on the internet.
  • The system requires users to identify themselves with their electronic ID and scan a QR code.
  • Users must renew their credentials every 30 days or sooner if they have entered the website more than 30 times.
  • This measure has proven to be ineffective and has no backing from any relevant platform.
  • It gives citizens an impression of abusive control by the State.
  • The perception is that it's an invasive and cumbersome tool that affects personal freedoms and privacy.

Conclusion: The Spanish Government has made a clumsy attempt to protect minors by introducing a measure that invades personal freedom and privacy, resulting in being invasive and without relevant platform support.
