GitHub's take on age assurance for developers

Re: GitHub's take on age assurance for developers
#22"Policymakers around the world are advancing age assurance proposals to protect children and teens online." Noone is doing this in order to "protect children"
Are you saying that the proposals will not protect children?
Or that they may protect children, and that is being presented as the rationale behind such proposals, but that is not the real underlying reason?
Re: GitHub's take on age assurance for developers
#23Maybe age assurance should be in the display. The display's camera has to verify the age of the viewer to display adult content. That might be simpler. Estimating age with a camera is already common in China. Cameras are cheap, and displays now probably have enough processing power to do it locally. Will work for TVs, too.
Yes of course, let's add a government mandated camera to every display that won't be abused at all. And of course this will also need the display connection and the rest of the PC DRM'd to hell so can't trivially spoof any of this.

That's already in place. That's how High Definition Content Protection (HDCP) works - DRM in the display.
