      > **Ofcom claims that no data will be sent to the adult sites through their age assurance/verification technology, which is something we’ll have to take their word for** – but considering one method didn’t work, and the Ofcom official admitted it’s easy to get around, we’re not entirely confident this is going to work out at all.

      So they are just taking sites word on this???

      Well at least that’s some evidence that Ofcom has some staff who are slightly more competent than their political masters.

      oh my god who knew, if ofcom only just learned about this i dont exactly trust them regulating our internet

      Ofcom just needs to do the bare minimum and get on with other stuff as the aim was never plausible regardless of its merits.

      There’s millions of sites with porn be it a single indexed page on a forgotten archive or pornhub.

      >If you’re a dedicated teenager, you’re probably going to be able to find ways to get (around this) in the same way as people manage to find their way in the pub to buy alcohol at under 18.

      >“Our research shows that a lot of kids are stumbling across porn and then it’s just one click away, and that half a million eight to 14-year-olds are on these websites every month and we need to change that.

      The actual quotes.

      That a pretty shit title and the article is also burying the lede. Ofcom admit that some underage children and young adults will circumvent, but also that it’s a first step.
      They’re also cynically stating “we’ll have to take their word for [information not being shared with adult websites]” as though hashing and third party assurance tech that does exactly this doesn’t already exist and is widely deployed globally.

      Also commenters so far haven’t read the short clickbate article.

      So from reading the article… The claim appears to be that due to the ease of bypass, the roll out of age verification „technology“ and political hot potato over the years – is to prevent kids accidentally discovering porn by a misclick.

      I mean, if that’s the goal uh, I’d say websites that function in that way probably won’t be signing up to any age verification system.

      I can’t say I’ve ever ‚accidentally‘ found myself on pornhub.

      But as I’ve been saying for years, this is a pointless activity and will make law enforcement of online behaviour etc far more difficult to moderate as it will normalise VPN usage.
      which isn’t infallible of course, but its much harder/resource intensive to gather data & pushing millions of young people into using anonymising ecosystem is going to cause a huge amount of issues.
      Everything from encouraging cyber bullying with no easily traced IP address or even just providing a level of confidence that they could search for „other“ content & provide a foundation for predatory behaviours all across the spectrum.
