The UK won’t give up on plans to age-gate online smut
The new rules will be part of the UK’s Online Safety Bill, a mammoth piece of legislation intended to reset how digital platforms are governed in the country.
. “We are now strengthening the online safety bill so it applies to all porn sites to ensure we achieve our aim of making the internet a safer place for children.”Details of how age-checks will be implemented are not yet clear, and individual companies will decide for themselves how to comply with the new rules.
The UK government said possible methods of age verification could include “checking a user’s age against details that their mobile provider holds, verifying via a credit card check, and other database checks including government held data such as passport data.” However, it is possible that these credentials could be used to verify age without also checking an individual’s identity.
Sites that fail to introduce age checks could be blocked from operating in the UK via blacklists issued to the country’s ISPs. And they could be fined 10 percent of their annual worldwide income.Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week.Please confirm your subscription to Verge Deals via the verification email we just sent you.
