    The technology is seen as an alternative to entering a credit card or uploading an ID because it does not involve handing over sensitive data.

    Yeah sure unless you consider the depiction your face to be sensitive data, which I do.

    It’s like the UK government is trying to get Chinese level content restriction without openly admitting it…

    There’s a lot more in that bill than just “protect little Timmy from the big bad titties”. It also gives a duty to “protect” users from, and allow reporting of, “illegal content”, and remember folks, whats legal today may well be illegal tomorrow!

    It being a bad idea aside, couldn’t teens just show the camera any picture of an adult? Supposedly the system doesn’t save the photo anywhere, so how would it know?

    How are they going to stop someone bypassing it by just holding up a photo of someone older? Like cameras can’t tell the difference between 2d and 3d.
