Ask HN: What are the rules on age verification for websites?
Are there spelled out rules for how to do age verification or what's necessary to have a user agree to. It just seems like every site except HN asks your permission for cookies. I have a site that is 21+ themed, but nothing for sale and not adultxxx. Just pictures of (legal for me) plants. I've tried to google it and I have found some answers, but I am reluctant to trust the AI answers I found. Any guidance is appreciated.
This is inevitably going to depend on the law in the jurisdiction that you're in. People on the internet can't give you legal advice, you should probably find a lawyer.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Building something else that doesn't create potential legal liabilities is the simplest thing that might work. I mean this probably isn't the best idea you can possibly have. And probably not the coolest thing you can possibly build.
On the other hand, thinking about legal pitfalls might be your favorite hobby. Good luck.
