Britain’s most tattooed man says new UK age checks block him from p*rn sites as facial recognition mistakes his tattoos for a mask, calling the tech discriminatory.
How about… People are paid as age verifiers. Win, win. More jobs, lower chance of data being stolen, maybe more awkwardness if you came across your partner on the other end of the teleconference call.
Or, how about this, bring back porn theatres. Industry gets paid from ticket sales, you have a ticket person who can ask for ID.
Also, is porn really that damaging to kids? I remember when there were videos circulating from beheadings and that was far more traumatising.
“Oh, hi Andrew why are you here?”
“Got a bottle of wine with my Asda order and need to go through this circus again…”
“Well enjoy your wine, age approved, see you!”
Idk, even that feels like a bit of a ideal/optimistic take. I just can’t see this going well no matter how they try to implement it. Can’t help but feel the ick anyway.

First thing I thought of was what if your family like aunt/uncle or cousin has this kind of job… that’d be way awkward.
Probably the more desirable dystopian future, to be honest.
Doesn’t need to be?
