    If the UK is going to require adult verification it should be built into your internet contract. Yeah, I’m an adult. I’m paying my bills, of course I’m a fucking adult. I over pay for this garbage internet.

    Uploading a selfie? The ai is going to determine if you’re over 18? Can the ai determine if the selfie is also ai?

      it should be built into your internet contract

      This works fine with personal contracts like your mobile. (EE has a porn filter that you can disable in your account.)

      But it doesn’t quite work for contracts that usually have multiple users. Like your home Internet. Because a child could connect to your WiFi and access that shmutz.

        Parental controls exist. Why should single adults be forced to jump through hoops because most parents are lazy fucks who don’t take responsibility for their kids?

          These laws aren’t a response to a real problem. The kids are fine. The parents are usually fine. These laws are posturing at best.
