Porn sites do not have to prove model’s age
Pornographic websites do not have to prove all the models they use are over the age of consent, justice minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin told MPs on Monday.
It would be ‘very far-reaching’ to require site owners to have a copy of the ID of every person who appears on their website, the minister was quoted as saying by news agency ANP.
Socialist and Labour MPs wanted more action on models’ ages as part of a crack down on child pornography.
