The company they are using (Persona ID) is based in the US and nowhere in it's privacy policy does it refer to GDPR. What it does say is:

Persona may use facial scans that are uploaded to detect fraud. It doesn't clarify how but i'm guessing facial recognition? So yeah, lets just give a company in the US a big ole database of our faces, names, online usernames, etc.

Persona will keep your details for upto 3 years and will share it with third parties….see the attached image.

Persona are also currently facing a class action lawsuit for illegally capturing facial scans….see the second attached image.

  1. Much easier to just install a VPN, even the free one I’m using works

  3. Fucking mad how we went from “don’t use your real name on the internet” in the 90s, to “upload photo ID to access a website”.

  5. Wait till there’s a hack and MP’s porn preferences start hitting the news.

  6. Hand over all your biometric data and your pornographic tastes (and apparently any substance abuse issues) to a shady American megacorporation, what could go wrong?

    The CIA must be feeling really redundant right now.

  7. I had to verify my identity with o2 as the new laws basically put a parental content filter on my mobile data browsing – just had to verify I had a credit card. Kind of annoying but I didn’t have to show my ID and o2 already have my bank details so I wasn’t worried about that.

  8. Those sites/apps that try to guess your age and we’re doing the rounds a few years ago red flagged all that for me.

  9. Whether you sign up or not, they’ve been brought into effect in the UK. Other jurisdictions are likely to follow suit or implement their own variations due to the worrying spike in younger people committing crimes or engaging in social disorders relating to the influences of grossly age inappropriate material they’ve accessed online/ inappropriate discourse from adults who do not and cannot respect safeguarding re minors who fall within their orbits.

  10. I was reading through this and it raises some serious concerns. For facial recognition, you’ll need to grant the site access to the camera and that (in my opinion) leaves an exploit for someone to get access and take photos. I remember years ago when this was alleged to a secondary school pupil and the thought that someone could do this drove them to suicide. Now you HAVE to do it and it will be stored somewhere? The government just making it easier for people to be exploited here, like come on, whoever thought this up must be as dense as Dora the explorer in a lake asking where the water is

  11. While I do think it should be harder for kids to access adult content online, this method is just futile. Kids have a knack for being able to access things they shouldn’t. If you’re in your 30s like me you probably remember using “hide my ass” to get around blocks in school.

  13. The US collecting yet more intelligence in order to share with an allied foreign state? Nothing to see here folks, carry on…

  14. This is the Gov`s way of bringing this place into line with the practices of China.

    Before you know it ***”every breath you take”*** & much much more will be monitored ..

    But not by a Doctor! ..

  15. Didn’t know this would effect crazy videos that’s a big hit on my redditing, for the porn I’d kinda always wanted a brazzers account and I am near 40 so was just taking that as a wee bit a motivation 🤷‍♂️😅

    People are saying about 1 shady American company having access to ppls porn data, most popular porn sites are already ran by one company called Aylo. 

  16. I’ll save the embarrassment for when the data eventually leak, I like big booty’s and am partial to mature

  18. Ooooo is that y I woke up and can’t see any nudes on here dam

  19. Wait what? They’re using a fucking private company for this shit? We now live in a time where you can make profit under the guise of “children’s safety”

  20. It won’t be long until the company is “hacked” and the data is exposed.

    More likely an employee will see an opportunity to sell data.

  21. Google “driving license” and choose one of someone holding a license. Save the image. Upload that. I was verified in less than a minute. What’s the worst they can do ban me? They’d be doing me a favour haha 

  23. Bit of government over reach when you’ve to upload your driving license to bang one out.
