“Some porn websites have complied with the Online Safety Act by requiring U.K. visitors to upload an ID or submit to a facial scan. “But some of the biggest porn sites that disregarded the ‘scan your face’ rule entirely have been rewarded with a flood of traffic,” the Post found. “Some have doubled or even tripled their audiences in August compared with the same time last year.”
When sites do comply with rules like these, they risk putting people’s privacy and cybersecurity at risk. The more times you have to submit a copy of your driver’s license or a picture of your face for identification, the more likely you are to find yourself in a data breach.”
