I didn't find the exact same article, but this one makes pretty much the same claim: https://facia.ai/news/video-platforms-must-enforce-age-checks-or-face-massive-eu-fines/

I said it the other day when the UK mandate just went into force and Reddit started having people in the UK required to take pictures of their IDs to get access to NSFW subreddits: if you get people used to having websites demand photos of identity documents, I strongly suspect you are gonna have some serious fraud --- and privacy --- issues down the line when less-than-salubrious websites start getting people to take and hand over identity document photos.

For an example of the privacy implications, we just had a story up on this community (or another, not sure) about the Tea identity leak:
On Friday, Tea said that hackers had breached a data storage system, exposing about 72,000 images, including selfies and photo identifications of its users.
Data from the hack, including photos of women and of identification cards containing personal details, appeared to circulate online on Friday.
That was yesterday. I seriously doubt that this is going to be the last time something like this happens.

This is different. It's a EU gov app that gives your website a zero-knowledge proof of age. Basically the only info they get is a "yes" or maybe the age itself. This is much better than what you describe, but I'm not familiar with the way the UK system works today.

I hate that they get to label this a "hack". It was sheer negligence - they stored these images in an unsecured bucket.
