Isn't the UK requiring face scans for porn?

The UK started it and now the rest of the western world is falling like dominos and the worst part is it's both sides of the politicial isle doing it which means it's even more difficult to shoot down

Texas and a couple other states already passed laws like this long before the UK did.

Huh, good to know...either way the UK seems to have restarted it...at least I hadn't heard much about any of this until they did it and now half the states and a bunch of EU countries are doing it

Seems like the whole world wants to get rid of it.

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

Is there any country or jurisdiction that has come out against these laws?

America + anonymity = was never real rofl... UK same.. europe...Europe has spied on American citizens in return America has spied on European citizens to circumvent national laws... While nsa and ms, for example, also cause huge damage through industrial espionage...
