If Australia can not even get something like this up and running the UK has no chance. The whole bill is such a unworkable mess that it is likely to collapse under its own weight just look at the last UK age verification law that was delayed over and over again until it was quietly scraped.
And with the AV plans OFCOM needs to satisfy itself, beyond reasonable doubt, that an age-verification vendor is secure and does not expose users or their data to unauthorised disclosure or security breaches, its the same dilemma the BBFC faced and let to the whole thing falling apart last time same with the encryption plan.
Now they plan to make it 100% worse with unworkable facial scanning.
There also the fact that Ofcom is likely to be super underfunded and unable to enforce 90% of the bill so its likely the rules will not be effective. Feel like its now inevitable the bill will crash and burn and Ofcom left with all the blame.
In the end I think the gov will panic and backtrack the moment when most used apps and websites shut down UK operations.
So they will mandate any platform to collect pictures of children? What could go wrong…
>”we are totally not grasping corrupt anti-capitalists like the ccp”. we just want total control over your information, money, opinions, comunications, ability to travel etc. did you forget the uk social credit score thing that got leaked and now just gets reported every other month? this is nothing to do with that. you must think of the children in the proper and done manner!”

Why is the entire British establishment (yes I’m including more than just the government, as there’s no real opposition to this from anyone) so incredibly stupid when it comes to these internet bills?
I just can’t get my head around how all this makes sense. It’s like banning momentum to reduce road injuries, or gravity to make flying safer.
