  Yeah, it’s some serious BS. They are forcing you to hand over and trust Reddit with your personal information, yet I wouldn’t trust them if my life depended on it.

  At the very least, someone in charge of this legisltion should learn OAuth2 and force the sites they want to comply by only let those OAuth2 accounts access their adult content. If I was in the UK, I’d just pay for a VPN over giving my photo to Reddit. That site is a lobby brigade hellhole whose “we know your dark secrets, we know everything” owner is also probably trading your account details on the side.

  What if I’m actually a set of traffic lights and the AI can’t work out what I am from my selfie?

    I identify as a zebra crossing.

  Can the AI determine if I’m just uploading photos of Kier Starmer as my ID?

    The current answer is that it is very difficult to determine if something was AI generated at scale, and if someone puts some effort in its effectively impossible currently.

  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?

      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.

      Because it’s always a few fuckwits ruining it for the rest.

    Then have the ISPs provide an interface to set which devices can access porn. No ID required.

      Or even simples. Just like you have a guest WiFi, have a kids WiFi and an adult wifi

        Which has been possible for decades now. People are just so dumb and lazy they rather accept a deep invasion of everyone’s privacy.

      Your ISP doesn’t see which device accesses the Internet. They only see their router.

      OTOH, most routers already have features to block websites for specific client devices. But good luck putting the onus on the parents to configure that properly.

        They can see and manage the router remotely no reason why they couldn’t do it. Mine let’s me turn off the router lights, change the WiFi password or turn of the WiFi all together.
