It looks like the UK is trying again to have age verification rubbish again
 

Why do you think age verification is rubbish?

because it hinders (and spies) on people, PLUS any kid with iPhone knows how to get around this rubbish

This has been in the works and widely publicized as part of the proposed 'online harms bill' for several years now.

The last attempt failed, as far as I remember, largely because the UK government mandated designated age verification companies to provide the required verification, and those companies could not meet the EU privacy laws.

This time, the UK is no longer in the EU, and the UK government will just require adult sites to have age verification, without setting up any 'official' verification providers for them ready.

Because it's a typical "think of the children!" bill which has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with introducing more privacy violations, data collection, digital fingerprinting, and censorship.

And android too, dont forget android :1orglaugh

If anyone should stop thinking about the children it's British politicians.

That would be great. Then you could actually SELL porn again instead of giving it away like idiots.

... and with Samsung at al. even easier :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
