There is a way in the UK to go into a shop show a drivers licence or even a passport and get a voucher code over the counter to then use once online to verfiy one's Age permanently. (Sites must be usings AgeID)

Verifying just once makes it kinda pointless, doesn't it? Unless each person can only redeem one voucher, I suppose.

what if I link to kids masturbating on a US-hosted site? Would that mean they're promoting child pornography?

Good question. I only had hosts in mind when I made my first post, but the letter of the law says "publisher or speaker". Since common law is extremely open to interpretation, it can include both the host and the site, app or whatever is providing the service. We'll have to see how the first cases go, as they might restrict the law to one or the other.
