Residents of Spain who wish to access online pornography will soon have to use a government-issued phone application, with a digital ID code and a limited number of credits.
The move comes after Dale Una Vuelta, an anti-pornography group campaigning for tighter regulations, released statistics showing the alarming spread of porn among minors.
“The data is devastating. Almost half of young people under 15 years of age consume it,” Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez told the newspaper El Pais.
Spanish government spokesperson Pilar Alegria has called the app “pioneering in Europe,” noting that the EU regulations envision the introduction of such digital passes by 2027.
The Spanish media have dubbed it the “pajaporte,” a play on words translating as “masturbation pass.” It is expected to become available “by the end of the summer.”
I LOST IT AT THE PAJAPORTE THING, HILAROUS 🤣🤣🤣
Once the EU law on age verification comes into effect, in October 2027, the ‘pajaporte’ will likely be >replaced by the bloc’s digital identity system, known as eIDAS2.
