I looked it up and found this -
I do not imagine too many people are going to want to do facial scans or upload their ID and credit cards just to access certain sites. The cyber criminals would have a field day with that.
Here in America, some adult sites no longer even broadcast their pages because of the same thing happening here so yeah it is likely to heavily censor the web.
Now if it is adult stuff someone wants, they could just AI their own material. Of course the simps who are in love with particular models, that may not work... of course they could AI a personality for their images.
You see, technology always has been and always will be ahead of the law.
Also isn't it str4nge how companies claim to know everything about everyone yet they still need you to "verify it is really you"?
When something is to their benefit, they know everything but when it benefits you, suddenly they have Alzheimer's.
It seems like the powers that be are trying to move the world backwards instead of forwards.
What is the new online law in the UK?
Platforms are required to use secure methods like facial scans, photo ID and credit cards checks to verify the age of their users. This means it will be much harder for under-18s to accidentally or intentionally access harmful content.

No.
Talked to almost a couple dozen English friends and family about this topic and they all defend it. "I have nothing to hide" is their main response.

@SW-User They might not have anything to hide, maybe they do not use "Adult" sites but do they realize also that having to upload one's ID or have a facial recognition is something the cyber criminals are going to have a field day with?
It's kind of like when people leave their house or car unsecured and say, "I ain't got nothing worth stealing". Maybe not but the crooks will find SOMEthing to take away.

@HoeBag Exactly, can't trust their security at all given all the data breaches that keep happening and adult content is only the beginning, squashing dissenting opinions is a short walk down that road.
It wasn't long ago that Europe started flirting with the idea of adding backdoors to encryption methods to have access to all our private messages to "protect the children". The UK is just ahead of the curve.
This is treating us all like we are guilty until proven innocent and there is no way to prove anything for sure without persistent surveillance.
