      Really? I’m printing out a photo of Ainsley Harriet and holding that up.

      It’s surveillance, not safety. Most teens will easily be able to circumvent these restrictions.

      Robin should have checked his own company’s privacy notice before blindly saying it’s deleted.

      Where‘s everyone setting their VPN location to? I’m in Bulgaria now so I might just use here

      God this is gonna be so fucking funny in a few months/years when someone hacks all this info and I fucking GUARENTEE we will see whoever signed this fucking bill into effect, in those files browsing all sorts of disgusting shit.

    6. One of Keir’s kids needs to put the parental lock on the router at home until this policy changes. See how he likes having his Internet freedoms limited by an intrusive outside authority.

      I do wonder if Keir Starmer is a closeted Libertarian, or at least wants one elected the second this Labour government falls…

      Waiting for the day when some politician’s porn habits are leaked after a hack.

      AI generated identity cards currently are passing all verification checks I’ve encountered, get registering on your favourite porn sites now before they tighten the checks.

      Isn’t this also being done in Australia? Funny how all these things come into effect the same time as other western countries. Pure bullshit, always about protecting the children… When it isn’t at all. If they cared we wouldn’t have child sex trafficking going on all over the place. They care not for anything but themselves and their agenda.

    11. Surveillance of the clueless/unknowing, and pushing an ever growing number of aware people into the shadows where they cannot be found while enjoying an unrestricted internet.

      The only thing that will come off this is less tech startups, when every upcoming entity has to invest heavily to stay within guidelines no matter how pointless they may as well setup base elsewhere and block UK IP addresses which I’m sure will be what many small websites will be doing.

      Teens found porn well before the Internet. That’s what teens do. 

      All this does is increase the risk to them, increased use of chat rooms and the like. 

    13. WritesCrapForStrap on

      Haha a lot of under 18s around here pissed off they won’t be able to access porn.

    14. MeatGayzer69 on

      Some porn sites aren’t even giving you the option to access with ID. They’re just blocking totally

    15. LifeMasterpiece6475 on

      So the government doesn’t want 16 or 17-year-olds watching porn but it’s quite happy to let them vote.

    16. Deadly_Flipper_Tab on

      The only safe database is one that doesn’t exist in the first place.

    17. throwaway1746206762 on

      What people fail to realize, both in the UK and internationally is that the UK has the authority under the online safety bill to arrest anyone who owns a website and refuses to make their website UK compliant, or simply didn’t do a good enough job of making it so.

      It’s one of the reasons why Civitai will be blocking the UK this week.

      TLDR – I lost access to anything remotely NSFW on Reddit last night and will not be verifying/providing ID to regain that access.

    19. ultraboomkin on

      I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when I see everyone so adamantly against this. We have age verification for the sale of alcohol or cigarettes, having age verification for porn seems sensible. The implementation is pretty non intrusive, it just checks your face and then deletes the data.

    20. itsapotatosalad on

      Does this mean Twitter will have to actually moderate and delete all the illegal content posted all over it if wants to operate in the uk?

    21. thedeerhunter270 on

      I tried to look at r/bikinis and Reddit wanted an ID check. Obviously they were showing too much ankle inn this group.

    22. Minimum_Orange2516 on

      Won’t they be able to get around the face check by holding up a print out photo of ‘hide the pain harold’ ?

    23. 1_Quebec_Delta on

      “Social media sites will need to make sure their algorithms aren’t pushing harmful content to young people and if their terms and conditions say those kinds of posts aren’t allowed, the sites will have to make sure their own rules are properly enforced.”

      Why not just stop pushing harmful content for all users instead of just young people?

    24. The whole OSA is a dumb law. It sets extreme rules that will force many small & niche sites to shut down as well as cause a general weakening of online privacy. I’d be glad for this law to be revoked & killed, like it should have.

    25. Cult-Film-Fan-999 on

      Sledgehammer to open a packet of crisps comes to mind. This has disaster and failure written all over it.

    26. Alunnite on

      While everyone seems to have focused in on porn the other “primary priority content” is content that encourages, promotes, or provides instructions for either:
      self-harm
      eating disorders or
      suicide

      Really any site that has user generated content should have age gates according to this. Look me dead in the eye and tell me this shit rampant on Instagram, tiktok, facebook, online forums. Even the comment section of BBC.

    27. Artificial-Brain on

      I don’t even consume much online nsfw content but I’m pretty pissed off at this.

    28. heppyheppykat on

      Would prefer it if maybe they actually have prison sentences to those who possess or distribute CSAM including CEOs of these sites. Currently 60% never see a day in prison. 
      Let me watch hentai in peace; I am a grown up.

      I mean yeh it may be a fairly rigorous and sound system and we have nothing to worry about when it comes to anyone we know finding a list of my verifications when it comes to a leak.

      But if it’s AI and it’s doing some kind of recognition, there’s nothing stopping them saving just a few well known faces and selling that intel.
      Somebody is buying bags of email addresses just to send them spam, imagine how valuable known faces using whatever sites, and viewing whatever videos will be.

    30. SirRobSmith on

      I often wonder what stops this verification happening in-person. I turn up to the local post-office, with my phone and my ID. They postmaster/mistress checks my ID and then uses my phone to scan their own QR code as an attestation that they’ve seen my valid ID. I then get given a token that I can input into websites.

      Best of both worlds?
