The new Online Safety Act over there. They make you scan your face and follow instructions (step forward, turn left, open your mouth, etc.) to access a lot of websites now. It’s creepy, and something similar seems to be being pushed in every western country simultaneously now.
Just to be clear the law doesn’t say you have to scan your face. That’s just one option to verify a persons age and websites (and users) are choosing that method. I believe other options are to use a credit card or maybe show some kind of government ID. It’s all fucked but the government aren’t making people scan their faces, that’s just one viable method.
