The Absurdity of Age Verification

This chapter humorously critiques the implementation of facial recognition technology for age verification on adult websites, satirizing the potential exposure of public figures' browsing habits. The discussion intertwines serious commentary on privacy concerns and government regulations, particularly the UK’s Online Safety Act, while absurdly proposing exaggerated tests for older individuals to access online content. Throughout, the speakers illustrate the paradox of online safety measures that compromise individual privacy in the name of protection, highlighting the complexities of modern digital governance.
