Should porn site owners be forced to prove that all models used on their sex sites are over 18?
The issue was discussed in parliament here in the Netherlands this week during a session aimed at coming up with new ways to tackle child pornography.
Left-wing parties wanted the government to introduce a law making it compulsory for Dutch sex-site owners and operators to provide evidence that everything on their site is above board.
But according to Dutch Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin this is not realistic. He said it would be going "really far" to expect the owners of these sites to hold copies of the identity papers of all of the models involved.
"The sheer volume of pornographic material, the fact that lots of it comes from outside the Netherlands and is often dated makes this in fact an impossible task for those running these sites," said the minister.
He added that most sites already clearly indicated that no-one under age was involved.
What do you think? Is the minister right or should tougher rules be introduced and would this help in the fight against child pornography?
