Age Verification

To comply with legal requirements in specific countries and states, you’ll need to verify your age to continue.

To find out more please visit Defend Online Privacy.

Verify your age by

Recently a number of US states and a few countries of note such as the UK have enacted age verification requirements for adult sites. On the US front at least, legal experts both within and outside of our industry do not believe any will pass a constitutional test. However, since these laws currently are on the books and thus have the ability to be enforced, we are choosing to comply with them at this point in time.

ZENRA uses Bluecheck.me, a third party verification service, to perform this important task easy to install filtering software does infinitely better. Information used in the verification process is not stored on our servers. Phone number and address verification is instant, secure, and uses database cross referencing (no calls, no SMS messages, nothing mailed to the address). ID verification, also a secure process, takes about one minute and is performed ‘blind’ on Bluecheck’s side where the ID is reviewed by someone unaware of what service the submitter is attempting to access.

Regardless of what method you choose, it costs you nothing, but does increase the cost of our operations in order to somehow make the internet a ‘safer’ place.
