Age Verification
Due to applicable UK laws, websites must verify the age of visitors using official ID to confirm they are at least 18 years old. We are a small site and unfortunately do not have the resources to implement such a system, so we are unable to serve users in the UK.
We are not required to verify your location, so please confirm below:
[I am not in the UK] [I am in the UK]
Are you over 18?
This isn’t considered verification in the UK from what I can tell. Companies are now implementing AI face scans, ID checks and credit card verification to comply with the UK law. I’m not a lawyer or even British, but it wouldn’t make sense to me that companies would spend money to turn away their UK customers otherwise.
How are they checking that your website’s face scans are actually ‘working’ and not just passing everyone?
Also what stops someone just getting OBS virtual webcam and just feed it stock video of some old geezer…?
I have an idea. Cardboard cutout masks.
That’s never going to pass for a real person.
I know about Online Safety Act, I was making a comparison between the system shown in the screenshot and the one I mentioned
Enter your birthdate:
01/01/1970
It says in the description that ID is required.
It was my attempt at a funny comparison between that system and the one shown in the screenshot
Just photoshop something together with a funny name.
