Pornhub is installing "government-approved" age verification services in the UK. Biometric scanning, passport scans, ID scans etc...

"Some experts and digital rights groups, as well as porn providers themselves, are concerned that regulators' efforts to compel porn sites to verify the age of users could have privacy and security implications.

Civil liberties organisation the Open Rights Group is concerned the Online Safety Act age check requirements for platforms may introduce "a wide range of new cybersecurity risks for users," or even push children towards more dangerous sites."

Yet another example of Anglo-American Puritanism most likely ending up having the complete opposite effects.
