#AgeVerification plans are halted, says @NickyMorgan01. That's great news for the privacy of millions of UK citizens who access adult content.
The plans were extremely bad, and would have opened a market prone to user tracking, profiling and of course, leaks.
@NickyMorgan01 There would have been a steady stream of scams, blackmail emails, and credit card theft sites all thanks to this half-baked scheme.
We should all be very thankful that it is paused, dropped, scrapped, for now.
@NickyMorgan01 However: I can't help thinking the fight will not be over. A number of organisations like the NSPCC are very committed to this policy. The AV companies will be very upset.
Are they going to simply walk away from this?
