We have some bad news: your parents and partners aren’t the only people you’ll have to deal with before rubbing one off. A new proposal from the Australian Government has suggested using face scans to confirm your age before you can watch porn online.
The Department of Home Affairs has proposed matching a photo with documentations such as a driver’s licence to confirm your age.
“Home Affairs is developing a Face Verification Service which matches a person’s photo against images used on one of their evidence of identity documents to help verify their identity,” they wrote to a parliamentary committee.
“This could assist in age verification, for example by preventing a minor from using their parent’s driver licence to circumvent age verification controls.”

The government already has plans for agencies, banks and phone companies to use the same technology. However, the proposal was shot down following fears we could end up with a ‘Big Brother’ scenario.
Similar ideas were also abandoned in the UK following privacy concerns.
Guess you better tug as much as possible before they start watching.
