UK repeats the same stupidity as the Prohibition in the United States was?


This ban targets children, prohibition covered adults! This more like requiring proof of id when you purchase alcohol


Except by ogling your ID, the attendant isn't making a copy and linking it to your purchase in a database that will get breached, or shared with the wrong future government.


This isn't the same due to the sensitive nature of pornography consumption but in the US this is exactly what happens when you buy certain cold medicines (pseudoephedrine specifically)
