UK May Require Photo IDs or Facial Age-Check Scans to View Porn

The UK's Office of Communications -- otherwise known as Ofcom -- has published a draft of age-restriction guidelines for websites and online services that offer sexually explicit content. If implemented, it would require such sites to introduce "age assurance" methods, which could involve photo ID matching, facial age estimation, and credit card checks.

I have always admired Sigma. It wasn’t regarded in the same league as it is today for its lenses until the Art series came out, but Sigma’s digital cameras have always been singular in design and purpose. The family-owned company has never been afraid to try something new, and honestly, that’s something we need to see a lot more of in the photography world.
