Under Bill S-210, commercial websites that make pornography available would be required to verify that users who access the material are at least 18 years old. But the bill leaves the specifics of how this would be done to be determined later, through regulations. Critics have said this age verification process could compromise user privacy if it requires people to share personal information, such as photo identification.

On top of the privacy aspect I feel like this must be really easy to bypass with a minimum amount of effort.

The vague nature in the meantime seems like a massive red flag.
