Like father, like son, I guess.

Or even simples. Just like you have a guest WiFi, have a kids WiFi and an adult wifi
Which has been possible for decades now. People are just so dumb and lazy they rather accept a deep invasion of everyone's privacy.

Just post on them. Two birds with one stone.
But if you do comply, double down by ringing Kier Starmer up and letting him (and your local MP) know what you've been wanking off to, since he's so fucking interested. He could have blocked this, but he let it run because he also agrees with it.
I wonder if there's a browser addon to make an itemised list of all the videos and camgirls and then I can send it to him on a regular basis. It should log when you close the browser window so it knows when you've "finished" so to speak. Maybe I could highlight those videos in bold for him, so he can skip right to the good ones.
There's an app for that. Talk to Mike Johnson.

Yes only the powerful Americans are pedophiles, nobody else
Where did I say "only?" The french PM have covered up pedophilia for years, everybody knows.

This. Can't believe we're seeing "lol Reddit sucks" when this is a country-wide implementation and has nothing to do with Reddit in particular.
You are correct. But this doesn't lessen the extent to which reddit sucks.

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.
Fuck Reddit fuck spez

So from my experience of these type of systems (mostly in the context of banking services) they normally want to use your devices camera to take the picture directly, and normally also want a photo of a photographic ID to compare against.
Sounds like a good area that's about to get a whole lot better at faking this system. I would just take a picture of a picture if that's what it takes. Then again, I would never do this and will just look elsewhere.

Makes sense. How do they know your a male looking for hetero pic unless you send them your penis to prove it.

Question in general about that UK law while there's people here who seem to know things: What about my private, personal website that I run as a hobby? If I have nsfw content on there* that I made myself with (one of (lolamirite)) my own two hands for free with no monetary gain whatsoever, they can't expect me to implement age verification, can they?
* (I don't right now, calm down)
Edit: any non-profit thing, really. AO3?

Allow listing sounds like the better solution. Ie the device had a list of remotes approved by the parents.
That way there's no need to police every website in the world in perpetuity.
Listing already exists, but in practice it's quite impractical, mainly because it's either not granular enough or too granular.
If the listing feature allows me to allow/deny on a domain basis, then allowing Wikipedia for example would mean that I'd also allow all the non-child-friendly content on there too. Like the literal full-length porn videos or the photographies of genital torture that are on there. And if I block all of Wikipedia, I also block all of the hundreds of thousands of informative and totally child-acceptable pages on there.
If, on the other hand, I allow/deny on a per-page basis, then using the internet becomes nigh unmanageable, because each click of my kid requires me to allow/deny the next page. It's not that often when using the internet that you access the same exact url every day without clicking to sub-pages.
A header would solve that issue. That way I could e.g. allow all Wikipedia articles that are rated for ages 6 and that's ok. The rating should of course be like for movies, so that it doesn't mean that a child would understand the articles, but that there's nothing child-endangering in there like the videos and images (and accompanying texts) mentioned above.

A simple toggle, secured with a password would do it. Child's device Y/N. If no, proceed. Your browser or whatever app you're using would only need to see that one setting, and it's not much different than your browser looking at any number of settings on your device.
Shit with TWO toggles, the other being "is this child under the age of 13?" You could even force sites like YouTube actually to comply with federal law about targeting minors with advertising.
But. These laws aren't actually about protecting children, they're about establishing a real identity for every person online.

Yea, that's the thing - I don't think it would 'do' it for legislators. Like you mentioned - it's not really about protecting children, but also the only way to enforce a law like this would be to log or register devices to specific people or children. This would essentially just shift the point of verification from the individual website to the point of sale of the phone or tablet. Verifying the age is the part that necessitates identification - the only thing a hardware-locked strategy does is centralizes that verification to a governing body instead of individual websites, but it still associates individuals with specific devices.
I get why this might seem preferable, but the problem of online privacy still persists.

They've been doing that for most NSFW communities for a while. It's called a Verification Post.

This is a combination of terrible legislation in the UK meets awful social media site.
The Online Safety Act is an abomination, compromising the privacy and freedom of the vast majority of the UK in the name of "protecting children".
I'm of the view parents are responsible for protecting their children. I know it's hard but the Online Safety Act is not a solution.
All it will.do is compromise the privacy and security of law abiding adults while kids will still access porn and all the other really bad stuff on the Internet will actually be unaffected. The dark illegal shit on the Internet is not happening on Pornhub or Reddit.
The UK is gradually sliding further and further into censorship, and authoritarianism and all the in the name of do gooders. It's scary to watch.
If a politician says it's to help the children, it's almost safe to assume they themselves rape children, at least in America.

There's a bunch of AI face generating pictures. I wonder if you can just use those. Or maybe this is just to create a new law to arrest people of uploading fake pictures...

Even though LemmyNSFW is outside of the UK the admins of any instance will be responsible for verification of UK users because of this law. This is why .zip (Lemmy and PieFed) have geoblocked the UK. It’s a lot of work and responsibility to take on.
Here’s the post from Demigodrick explaining this situation better than I can.
Yeah only if the UK can actually manage to enforce any consequences to site admins outside the UK. I'll wait and watch.

Verification posts are only for if you're uploading photos. This new verification will be required before you can even view these communities.
