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.
