So far all age verification methods require you passing on a copy of documents that could fall into the wrong hands. Will users like that? How can they verify the user isn't a kid using his Dad's passport?

Will it cover sites like Twitter and Facebook?

How does it cover people using a VPN or similar?

The articles I found were very vague on how they will enforce it.

The UK will block online porn from April. Here's what we know | WIRED UK

Of course, it could be a good thing for those with UK traffic. Asking surfers to pay for access is a good way to verify the user.
Ill informed as usual Markham.
