The idea of giving passport / ID info to porn (or other adult-oriented) sites is not appealing. Imagine if it gets leaked, it'd be a massive blackmail trove.
Maybe a workable solution would be something similar to how it works for most mobile internet providers? So you confirm your age to the ISP and then your entire connection has adult service interaction enabled.
Fucking ridiculous though that this has been approved in such a vague state. I wonder if the tories will find a way to weaponise it before election next year to maintain power. Fuuuuuuck a whole more year of these fucking privileged thieving incompetent fuckheads. Sorry for all the fucks, these are my last fucks to give.
I assume it was only implemented under the provision that it doesn't apply to MPs, Lords or any of their special pals.
