Conservative government would require ID to watch porn: Poilievre

Feb 21, 2024 | 7:09 AM

OTTAWA — Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre says a future Conservative government would change the law to require that porn websites verify the age of users to prevent minors from accessing the content. 

The Tories currently back a Senate bill that promises to do just that.

Bill S-210 passed the Senate in the spring and is set to be studied by a House committee, but no meetings have been scheduled yet.

The law would require adult websites to verify users’ ages, but does not specify how that would be done.
