Jason Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 What could possibly go wrong? From the comments on the article: Quote Given the....activities....that underage people might be engaging in when surfing for pornography....won't the government of Australia be running a very high risk of engaging in distribution of child pornography by proxy?

TwinIon Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 This is such an incredibly bad idea in so many ways, I can't believe anyone would make such a suggestion public. So you're going to light up a camera at someone every time they look at porn? And you're going provide some sort of API that is open enough that any shadey porn site has access to age verification on your entire populace? And you're going to trust that porn sites will actually implement it? That's not even considering the technical issues. What about devices that don't have cameras (like most desktops)? Then you have an issue of the devices that do have cameras being largely of poor quality and certainly not working well in poor lighting conditions. You think a cheap laptop webcam or android phone selfie cam is capable of decent facial recognition even in good conditions? Even if this was in service of a worthwhile cause it would be a terrible and completely unworkable idea. As an effort just to stop people from seeing naked people, it's certifiable.
