Remember the laws about cookies in web browsers and forcing websites to declare and get permission to track you. We didn’t want websites knowing what we were doing.
Now we are essentially training people to freely give their identification potentially attaching their literally identity to their online habits. We have no idea about any of these verification services and whether they’re really trustworthy. Even if they are we are introducing a new attack vector for fraudulent verification systems.

So there’s no UK based certified companies for the age checks??!?!
That’s so messed up unless I’m reading it wrong.
Why wouldn’t they have this done in advance so we have consistency and at least some basic trust?
Ironically I’ve just renewed my driver’s license online. I’m sure they could create a one time token to show im over 18 from the govt website? So no actual info is shared?

Btw talk of repealing is complex as this was a winning manifesto pledge from the last Tory govt. Which means it’s deemed to have been given a mandate by the people.
I think it’s stuck until at least the next election and I can only see reform saying they will repeal. Try not get mad at me for saying this, it’s how manifesto pledges are in our system, they get treated differently
