I looked it up and found this -
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.

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.
