The Australian government has proposed using facial recognition to verify the age of people wanting to access pornography online. Unlike in the U.S., Australian law doesn t prohibit minors from visiting adult sites, so the facial-recognition measure would be part of changing this policy. Cybersecurity and privacy concerns are at play, according to experts. The devil is in the details; the proposal doesn’t say whether the facial recognition will be implemented in accordance to data privacy best practices. The human ramifications of a hack or other breach could be significant.
