According to the beeb , " all websites on which pornographic material can be found [..] must introduce "robust" age-checking techniques such as demanding photo ID or running credit card checks for UK users by July "

Later in the article, it is explained that

Ofcom has published what it calls a "non-exhaustive" list of technologies that may be used to verify ages, which includes:

  • Open banking
  • Photo ID matching
  • Facial age estimation
  • Mobile network operator age checks
  • Credit card checks
  • Digital identity services
  • Email-based age estimation

Presumably this will mean that AF will no longer be accessible to non-members and non-verified members?

Will ID-verified users need to be re-validated? 

What about the 3-ref type validation where, in effect, 3 other people have vouched for the genuiness of a user?

Curious minds are.... curious.
