Australia Proposal Would Use Facial Recognition to Screen Porn Watchers

The Australian government has proposed using a facial recognition system it is developing to verify that people who seek to watch pornography online are of legal age. Current law in Australia does not prohibit minors from viewing pornography, but the federal government is considering proposals that would require people to prove their age before watching the material.
