The United Kingdom has long been trying to introduce age verification laws for pornography sites. A system using passports, credit cards, and other means was supposed to...

I’m just gonna submit pictures of him and Cameron. See how they like it.
Simply AI generate an adult face, it’ll be AI the whole way down

I wonder how they’d handle some families photo albums.
a child bathing naked isnt neccessarily csam, really depends on the nature of the picture
