    I’d imagine anyone who’s survived a fire or acid attack is also getting fucked by this

      I can’t take AI proctored exams because I have a lazy eye and it tracks whether or not you’re looking at the screen. It’s the main thing keeping me from getting a bachelor’s because most associates to bachelor’s RN programs are entirely online.

      Revealing something meant to be serious, as also being ridiculous is like one of the main answers to the question of how comedy works…

      It’s funny BECAUSE it shows how stupid they are… this is almost toddler-level comedy basics. It’s stupid, disturbing and fucked up, but also funny. Funny doesn’t mean it can’t be anything else, it’s not an exclusive thing. Many things that are bad, wrong, disturbing etc. are also funny.

        Right? It’s only funny if he voted for the people who put this policy in place.

        There wasn’t really a viable alternative. The Conservatives were also intending to put something like this in place.

      Sometimes you have to in order to do your job. Let’s say you are a researcher, and the information you need to access is footage on YouTube which has been age restricted.

      The new Online Safety Act over there. They make you scan your face and follow instructions (step forward, turn left, open your mouth, etc.) to access a lot of websites now. It’s creepy, and something similar seems to be being pushed in every western country simultaneously now.

        Just to be clear the law doesn’t say you have to scan your face. That’s just one option to verify a persons age and websites (and users) are choosing that method. I believe other options are to use a credit card or maybe show some kind of government ID. It’s all fucked but the government aren’t making people scan their faces, that’s just one viable method.

      The stated reason is to protect children from porn and such. The real reason maybe (as it often is whenever they say it is about protecting children) an excuse to extend surveillance as much as possible.

        Every “for the children!” law is always just about control. If they actually cared about children, these governments would pass laws or take actions that actually help. I imagine asking a kid if they feel their government does things to make them safe, they’d probably go “dafuq?” or “no.”

          I am probably on the same side as you are, but I was trying to give TacoButtPlug a somewhat measured answer to a seemingly genuine question. I try to start out appearing as a lukewarm lunatic before cranking the heat up to raving.

    Can’t he just go and update his ID? As long as Illuminati forehead has an ID that matches that trainwreck of a face it should work.

      Uk doesn’t have a universal id which is why they are using face recognition for the check.

      You can provide a drivers licence but maybe the guy doesnt have one.
