Ironic considering the UK does not have any requirement to have an ID. Passports and Driving Licences (sic) are not mandatory. The effort to create ID cards was abandoned ~20 years ago.
Will people really be expected to get a non-driving Driving Licence to access porn?
It seems governments everywhere are abdicating their primary responsibility as a single point of personal identification, then outsourcing solutions to the financial sector (banks, crypto exchanges, etc.) and dodgy 3rd party age-checking agencies.
- anewhnaccount3 2y agoIt's already a requirement to vote. Really it's a "you don't need it but actually you do". Makes the whole anti ID card thing seem extra silly in retrospect.
- jimbobthrowawy 2y agoSome other countries, such as Ireland, have photo ID cards that only exist to prove that you are a certain age. (almost exclusively 18, to purchase alcohol) They have no other requirements to get, beyond proof of identity. IIRC, it's so limited because of a similar backlash against creating a national ID scheme.
