The (insane) UK trade industry body for Age Verification providers believes every site on the internet should be forced to only carry content suitable for under 13s, or should block all access from VPNs in case anyone from the UK is using them.
They also came out with the absolutely golden statement this week that it's not too bad that this would put vulnerable people in authoritarian countries at risk, because all we had to do was collapse the governments of Russia, China, much of Africa, Poland, Iran, sizable chunks of the Middle East etc etc. Problem solved!
- mjevans 5y agoWhy can't sites suitable FOR children opt in to saying they are, and then really prosecuting any website that makes this claim but is false? Then use already built in platform controls to restrict accounts to these 'safe' sites. Just assume everything is unsafe by default, and also free and unrated by default.
