Before anyone gets too excited about this because "won't someone please think of the children", remember that government policies never stop where they end. Governments want to be able to track everything single thing you do and "let us spy on you because of DUH CHILDREN" is always their first go-to excuse.
The UK is proposing not just photo ID but also live, repeated identity facial recognition from 2025 to verify that person matches the photo ID with safeguards in place to prevent trickery. Which would require cameras in a range of devices. And not just for porn but for anything not "safe for kids". Who wants multiple cameras in their home that could be used for surveillance just so you can have the freedom to view porn, gamble, watch an 18 movie, play an 18 video game or post a comment on a website?
truly the foundation of every nation: pornography, gambling, sexy movies, and videogaming...
we agree that this ability to demand ID will be misused soon, that much is obvious. but, with all due and sincere respect, get a fucking grip, this rhetoric is pathetic and just makes us all look like uppity, porn-addicted children.
