  2. They can scan a picture of my ass but it’s a bit too big for the camera and I can’t watch porn 😭

  4. Brits would rather force people to give up their identities than use parental controls on their children’s devices.

  5. So you need to send them ID and picture of your face to have a wank ? The future is bright

  6. Any party that promises to repeal this gets me vote. This isn’t about protection it’s about a great firewall of UK.

  7. Would it be ok to hold up a picture of – insert politician of your choice here – and just photograph that?

  8. No wonder your Black Mirror episodes are so much better. You’re livin’ it over there in the UK.

  9. I wonder if yet again Apple will refuse to have this a part of any app they have on their systems so they can completely block NSFW stuff on their stuff. Seeing as it’s the best for accessibility for the disabled it’s like infantilising us with extra steps.

  10. Getting exactly what they voted for.

    Keir fuckface starmer has not hidden that he wants more facial recognition and more surveillance.

  12. So many people are going to get their identities stolen because of this.

    Too easy to set up a fake proof of identity service to harvest peoples id’s.

  13. There’s gonna be a fucking hilarious data breach when anyone stupid enough to do this gets their ID linked to their porn searches lmao

  14. What you guys doing over there? You seem to have CCP-lite running your country.

  15. Can I outsource my ID verification to a team of faces in India?

  16. 5 seconds to get around it, I’ll just leave a VPN connected 24/7 now and even though I’ve nothing to hide my activity won’t be visible anymore regardless.

    Laws brought in by people that don’t understand how technology works, it’s laughable.

  17. Another fun thing we could all do is, after providing our ID’s is request a Data Subject Access Request as part of our GDPR legislation. This would be to determine if our data has been sold. We should maybe do this request once a month just to make sure.

  18. Can’t wait to see in the news that these comanies have had massive data breaches

  20. Couldn’t even open up Reddit this morning without being asked to verify my age. Gave a fake DOB and just a face photo via the estimate age scan thing. No way in hell am I going to give out any of my official forms of ID to Reddit lmfao.

  21. I bet NORD are happy that all those adds are paying off now.

  22. A simple 2FA would have done the same job and not been a dodgy database to be exploited by sinister forces.
