Google develops selfie scanning software ahead of porn crackdown::undefined
Oh wow wtf is going on the UK. Prohibition never works , teenagers will be more interested in it. Ways to avoid and to overcome the system will appear.
They’ve voted for conservatives 10 years running, even after realising that those same conservatives tricked them into Brexit…
…it’s a pretty ridiculous situation.
Like VPNs. Pretty simple.
Downside is it will push teens to free VPNs and those are almost always malicious.
Absolutely assinine regulatory decision brewed by people that do not understand how the world or people work at all.
They understand fine, but they’re pandering to people who aren’t capable of understanding.
You know all those multicolored hats finding exploits and creating botnets and such?
Boy am I interested in hearing about some obscure specializations and hacks in about 10 years. I bet Jack Rhysider is already getting excited.
Darknet Diaries is so good! I love his show.
The technology uses a phone camera to capture an image of someone’s face and calculate their likely age.
People about to view porn love to have their picture taken and uploaded to a database. I see literally no problems with this whatsoever.
Would make more sense to do that on people in the videos. Prevent child pornography or teen nudes. Let teenagers watch porn, we did that in the 90s
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.
So they’re collecting photos of minors who are most likely naked to protect those minors from the dangers of porn? Flawless work; the children are now safe.
Average ‘Think about the children!!!’ Enshittification.
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.
Imagine getting carded by your phones AI (random person on task rabbit) because you look to young to look at porn.
