Apologies if this isn’t the right place to ask this, but I thought actual developers with a deep understanding of how technology actually works would be the people to ask!

If you were tasked with setting up a safe and secure way to do this, how would you do it differently than what the UK government is proposing? How could it be done such that I wouldn’t have to worry about my privacy and the threat of government suppression? Is it even theoretically possible to accomplish such a task at such a scale?

Cheers!

EDIT: Just to be clear: I’m not in favour of age verification laws. But they’re on their way regardless. My question is purely about the implementation and technology of the thing, rather than the ethics or efficacy of it. Can this seemingly-inevitable privacy hellscape be done in a non-hellscapish way?

    None of your business.

    I don’t need you approval that my past is “real enough” to be allowed to argue my point.

            Alcohol is also harmful to adults.

            So is the internet.

            To engage with either without risk, mental fortitute and maturity is required.

            You should inform the underpaid workers going insane moderating facebook that the pictures can’t harm them. I’m sure their need for therapy will instantly vanish.

                I’m sorry. I hope you’re ok.

                But don’t go telling people their pain isn’t valid. You literally can’t know.

                And it’s not your fucking place to ask. What you tried to do to me by doing so, I would never do to anyone. And I’m pretty sure you understand why.
