The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.
Whether or not that’s the case, I think the proposed technical implementation above is a better way of enforcing the actual law than what’s been applied so far.
Yeah I do too, but so would anyone who was seriously thinking about this in terms of keeping kids from looking at porn rather than restricting access to “adult content” (whatever that means) more broadly. Any programmer worth their salt would have immediately suggested “hey this is a bad idea we should do it this other way” when asked about the viability of the current solution and yet this was ignored.
Do you actually believe the government care about people not watching porn? The whole point is mass surveillance and to extend ID verification to the internet.
Spoiler alert- the point isn’t to keep kids from looking at porn, it’s to keep adults from looking at it too.
