Question in general about that UK law while there's people here who seem to know things: What about my private, personal website that I run as a hobby? If I have nsfw content on there* that I made myself with (one of (lolamirite)) my own two hands for free with no monetary gain whatsoever, they can't expect me to implement age verification, can they?
* (I don't right now, calm down)
Edit: any non-profit thing, really. AO3?
Yeah, I will definitely trust an internet stranger with my face so they can verify that I'm not underage to access content which could, in case of being leaked, damage my reputation or even destroy my life.
DEFINITELY
This is the facebook "show a video of your face" bs all over again. glad i don't have an account on either site bc not only is it a huge privacy concern, you know they store all that data and are going to sell it and/or use it to train AI models
This is what Facebook does to verify accounts, they also autoban if you try to register with a temp email
is reddit still alive? it must be 100% bot on bot action by now...
Probably. reddit has tons of content from back when humans were the dominant posters there and that comes up in search results. I can see a future where text searches will turn up reddit posts much like image searches flood you with pinterest shit.
That's what you get for using Reddit.
This applies to every single site that hosts adult content - not just reddit.
What's to stop uploading a random picture of a person? Or even an AI generated person? I get what they're trying to do, but seems like legislative theater more than anything.
I've once attempted to open a bank account where they wanted video proof, and expected me to say a randomly assigned phrase, to solve the issue you mention.
I didn't do it. Fucking KYC is BS.
That said, as someone who has posted stuff like that and had it spread without my consent, screw (very much not literally) consuming that shit without taking the same risks as the people sharing what they get off to.
I do think its gross to require it for the other NSFW stuff. Drug forums are very important resources for harm reduction.
What if I just have AI generate a fake selfie with a fake ID? Are they gonna use AI to check it against a database? Well, I actually have my AI write a bunch of malware into the image and now I've hacked into the mainframe and downloaded your entire porn database. Suck on that harddrive
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
