Could this be a good thing, if you opt-in (aren't required to do whatever verification your phone wants)? I would absutely never give my id to any porn site so if there were a secure way for my phone to say "yep, they are over the required age" then that could be an acceptable solution. If the phone doesn't store your ID photo, that would be very good.
