A Tech Affair episode 155: Compulsory online ID - more protection for minors, but at what cost?
Will we soon have to identify ourselves when we watch videos on the Internet? At least that's what the new Youth Protection Act wants. Find out what this means in this podcast episode. We also discuss "Indiana Jones 5" and "Final Fantasy XVI".
Inappropriate content on YouTube, Netflix and the like will soon require an age check. This is what the new federal law on the protection of minors in the areas of film and video games wants. The potential impact of this decision is huge. We explain how the law is to be implemented, what the benefits are and where the problems lie.
There is also a big problem with the fifth "Indiana Jones". Harrison Ford slips into the iconic role one last time. We think he would have been better off leaving the whip behind.
Even as non-fans, we are convinced by "Final Fantasy XVI". It offers an epic action spectacle with a large portion of "Game of Thrones", even for newcomers to the series.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
