It's the UK ID system all over again this time they have sneaked it in as age verification with photo ID

This is the first bit of regulation from Ofcom as Ofcom is now the online safety regulator.

 

I have an account on a site that I opened back in 2003 yes 22 years ago but I know when I login to tomorrow I will be asked

for age verification to prove I'm over 18 when they already know I opened the account 22 years ago.

(It's this bit that will annoy people)

 

This will end up as needing a online passport and will not stop kids from using proxy/VPN to access things from outside the UK.

What are your thoughts on this.

Yes it's happened I'm been asked to age verify on a website that has a 22 year old account on it.

 

I just don't approve of the ways they are going about this. 

They are biometry locking down account's and are now selling you solutions to get back in to them.

the are more then 100 app's on apple and google that are ID apps or online passports

then the are the website that only support this one or that one the nightmare has started.

The needs to be one official app that can not be rejected (under penalty of fine)

 

Also what about the websites that do not operate in the UK or have NO interest in the UK market.
