I don't see many options between asking for a birthdate and asking for ID for this problem. I don't see any way that this can be enforced that isn't problematic.

I don’t see many options between asking for a birthdate and asking for ID for this problem. I don’t see any way that this can be enforced that isn’t problematic.

The senate inquiry outlined the two likely solutions :

  1. Uploading ID to the website.

  2. 3D face scanning. This will include continual monitoring so if another person comes into view they will have to face scan in. Remember, its prohibited for chidren to even watch prohibited content with their parents.

Lol those options harm children

How can it possibly be legal to 3D face scan a child, especially if it needs to be authenticated by a remote server somewhere.

I can only ever see option 1 working
