I too have been here for years and really don't want to share personal details / photos with third parties, As I have purchased numerous videos using my credit card, is this not proof enough, that I am over eighteen?
I understand why it has to be done, but age verification is not for me.
The influence of America's conservative prudes is spreading around the world.
I will probably have to say goodbye to the remaining visible bits of this website when the time comes, just like I have had to bid farewell to the large number of UK media websites who try to monetise cookie rejection and adblocking.
Feel sorry for people like Rev who rely on video sales to put food on the table. Even if he only loses 5 to 10% of his customers, it's going to hit him hard.
Here's to the final few weeks of access to everything on the site.
Dirty Muse said: The reality is that unless you live in a hole deep in the woods with no electricity, no car and no internet the Government knows where you are, and if (Big if) they want to know more about you, you can not stop them. My job before I retired was a Corporate Hacker, I worked for one of those faceless huge corporations for 30+ years and they are better at getting your private info than the Government! I mean for Gods sake Gmail is free for a very good reason! How do you think Google got rich? Do you believe your email is private? This is the world today, there is nothing you can do! I am 97% sure someone knows what you wank off to somewhere! The important thing is that they don't care! Unless your an international terrorist why would they care? In this connected world nothing is private, so take your smart phone of of the chips packet, shrug your shoulders are they to remember the good ole days before the internet LOL

Your secret identity is safe with me Carlos the Jackal...I mean Mr Philip Holland!
Going to be a no from me too. It's a bit sad as I've been around in some form or another in the internet messy scene since well before the UMD existed. I wonder if this will finally be the thing that moves UMD over from the central (and in some ways only), game in town for messy fetish stuff to other forums that don't revolve quite so much around production and sales, which because of the necessity of the credit card processors led to some of the more confusing rules here over the last few years. That wouldn't be a bad thing, afaic.
I love that the people trying to sell us on how safe this is focus on how UMD never gets your ID information. The age verification service knows your real life credentials and knows you asked to be verified on UMD. Having that information in one place is a liability. The argument that they'll be careful and won't get hacked is wishful thinking. Banks are careful and get hacked. Health insurance companies are careful and get hacked. Governments are careful and get hacked. The only sensible option is to not hand over pictures of yourself and scans of your government ID to some company.
My profile clearly states that my logon has been used for 27.5 years. The UMD ID (5362) should also be a clear indication on the age of the account. But, it seems, that this is being completely ignored in favour of schemes that require you uploading sensitive and personal information WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO DO.
Even if I was under-aged when the account was created, I would be more than old enough now and when this requirement came into place.
Why is this situation being blatantly ignored (there's been no feedback on this thread) when there is more than adequate documentary evidence in place to validate age?
Old enough to know better young enough not to care
Love you, too
