"Don’t see the problem. No different than other over 18 sites where I’d is required Yeah, feel pretty much the same. ID is required for many things, not just adult sites." Yep. When I order vape coils I get age verified every time. I don't see an issue. It already exists for many non sex sites that are age related such as gambling. I've provided ID to many a swingers club for membership. Not bothered in the least. 🤷♂️ | |||

"VPN" Indeed, and then the darker corners of the Internet suddenly become tempting to some. It's quite hilarious they think this makes children safer. Mainstream sites will see a drop, but other avenues that should not be travelled, will see an increase in traffic. | |||

In fact the perceived repercussions were worse for women because there was this generalised and alleged viewpoint that all married men had affairs anyway. For women doing it was, apparently, unprecedented. We will never know the truth. | |||

"I wonder if it happens will people be allowed to state a false age on here." I think checks for being an adult will need to be reasonable and only to ascertain that you're over 18. It's going to be tougher to get right, for those who actually are 18 and filter those from people who aren't legally eligible. The system won't be foolproof, as many may share viewing and they'll just validate one person, I'm sure, rather than observe users via their camera, to see what's going on | |||

It will be some online digital card that is done with official ID then tgst will give people a number / card to use in sites. Pornhub has been trying to lead the way for years with the last round of av laws it went no where and I’ll expect thus July date to be bounced back neater time pending review Unfortunately the government / ofcom / isp and site operators are struggling to reach a practical solution that is good for all parties | |||

"It seems like another way for the powers that be to gather data. Having read a little bit about it it appears to be private companies that have developed verification software pushing the government to implement it for their own gain." Companies looking to make money from age verification have been very active for some years. Inevitably, we'll lose some aspects of privacy, as our data will be very valuable. Many companies actively amalgamate data, from multiple sources, which is how anonymised data can be de- anonymised. It's potentially not done by the first date collector but others who vacuum up data from any sources they can get to. Ofcom etc will have no ability to do anything, further downstream. Not that they have much anyway. Our hardware and software details, allow us to have detailed unique profiles that are used to track us - not by Fab but other organizations out there. | |||

An only be a good thing It will get rid of a proportion of the clowns on here and will definitely improve the site if people have to be a bit more responsible with their profiles. There’s a lot of under 18s currently setting up profiles and having a great time winding folks up and looking at pics etc. | |||

"What if you don’t have a driving license, passport or credit card? Not all over 18’s possess these things. " to me a household bills is sufficent enough than having to prove id instead of passport or d license there not a bank, providing d license or passport is a dangerous way for data leaks to happen. once you put it in one place for all that data to be collected makes that place really unsafe to hackers/miscreats . there is even a risk with bank card details no matter what site you visit as goes for pornhub they did a full block of any visitors due to country/county to the site due to id restriction. as people just went elsewhere instead as goes for the data you hand over ( D license and passport ) can you really be reassured that that data will be deleted on request or that it wont be shared or used elsewhere the answer is nope pornhub reference on the register is pornhub walls of utah | |||

"My phone died in Nov and I'm too scared to take it to see if the pictures can be retrieved because of all the fab pics I have on it " this depends on the type of phone you have and its settings. photos or videos can be gotten at via the usb pc link as long as the setting on the phone is not set to press to allow the phone to connect. you can connect it that way this is true for those phones that have a faulty battery or a damaged screen. if you have to confirm to connect on your phone to a pc then its a little bit more ackward | |||

"Ide never give out any credit card info to fab. Anyone can be a moderator so how do you know who gets to see it. " Moderators don't get to see anything like that. They're volunteers. Forum mods see what's posted in the forums. As does everyone else. Photo mods get to see photos uploaded to approve/reject according to the rules. Nothing else. Chat room mods get to see chat rooms chats. Nothing else. There are no 'staff' bar the owners. | |||

"Wouldn’t it work if network providers just had a block on WiFi for adult sites / material. Contact your network provider, prove you’re over 18 and have the block removed. I had to do this to access this site when I changed network provider." Exactly! We've already paid, as taxpayers and internet users, for adult restrictions to be in place. The next lot of restrictions will be, probably, as effective and good value for money, as they were. Plus it will only check 1 person, however many and whoever is watching. It's more effective good investment of taxpayer money, by the conservatives. They wasted £millions on IT for the Rwanda farce system too. | |||

"I like the idea of it, could it make the site safer? I mean anyone guilty of committing offences such as assault/harassment could be traceable and brought to account? It may even cut down the amount of fake profiles." It's probably going to be done independently of sites, so I'm assuming that ex-cons etc will be free to access porn etc. I'm guessing that it's going to be more of a pass/fail test, whether someone is over 18 or not. | |||
