All websites accessible in the UK will be required to perform a risk assessment to see if children accessing their website will see anything not "safe for kids" and if so, must implement age verification. Ofcom will require websites to implement ID verification that is live (ie. via a webcam or front facing camera), verification of Government issued or approved photo ID (as content under 18 will also be expected to require age verification), unique checks on each visit (no longer tied to an account you log in to like what happens with gambling websites now) and continuous checking of ID to ensure that a device is not passed from an adult to a child.
Even by UK standards, this is bizarre. It's an identity thief's dream, not to mention how you do a 'continuous chekcing of ID'.
Failure to do any of this results in a fine of £18 million or 10% of worldwide revenue, whichever is larger, prison sentences for website owners and blocking by all ISPs who operate in the UK.
Trump should sanction the UK if they try to bully others into complying with their totalitarian agenda.
Everyone is going to need to buy special new TVs and wouldn't you know it, you can only buy them from the BBC so there is no way to avoid the licensing fee.
Forget something as basic as alooped camera feed, what happens when you make a realistic Vtuber avatar (they already exist) and feed a faked camera stream in to the continuous checking?
Asking because I actively want to subvert the UK's retarded shit and I think it's funny.

I'm assuming that game console companies have enough money to bribe the right people that there will be exemptions granted.
