U.K. Implementing ID Checks for Porn, Could Extend to Social Media Sites

[Franklin Pierce]

A lawyer claimed the United Kingdom could soon force users to provide valid ID if they want to access social media sites, as the U.K. implements mandatory ID checks on porn users starting in April.

From April 1, Internet users in the U.K. will be required to submit a valid form of ID, such as a driving license or passport, in order to access pornographic websites.

“When someone first clicks on a site, they’ll be asked to register with Age ID and verify their age using a Mobile SMS, credit card, passport, or driving licence,” reported the Sun. “Users will then be able to use their Age ID username or password to access all porn sites that use AgeID – though some may use different age verification systems.”

That is really stupid. Let's provide hackers more access to valid ID's and also boost the market for fake ID's.
