My Android phone prevents me from recording phone calls at the request of my carrier, even though it's totally legal for me to do so in my jurisdiction.
I'm not loving where this is all going.
Luckily there are alternatives in the form of code displays and NFC chips. However, next year I won't be able to watch porn unless I verify my age using a smartphone, no alternatives are planned. Or rather, I have the "free choice" to choose between a privacy preserving ZKP solution operating in the kingdom of Google or uploading my face to a porn site.
Dark times.
I assume that in the pornography you've decided to consume, the participants are not clad in balaclavas.
They're showing their faces to everyone, in perpetuity, which many may no longer want to, and - considering the exploitative nature of the pornography industry, where rape is endemic - some didn't consent to in the first place.
So maybe consider that when you're complaining that your own face may be linked with pornography. Is what you're doing ethical? Do you reasonably have any right to complain?
Second, porn is just the beginning. This will also be rolled out to social media, and I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years this will be required in lots of places where children could be exposed to something that politicians find offensive.
