The idea of giving passport / ID info to porn (or other adult-oriented) sites is not appealing. Imagine if it gets leaked, it’d be a massive blackmail trove.

Fucking ridiculous though that this has been approved in such a vague state. I wonder if the tories will find a way to weaponise it before election next year to maintain power. Fuuuuuuck a whole more year of these fucking privileged thieving incompetent fuckheads. Sorry for all the fucks, these are my last fucks to give.
I assume it was only implemented under the provision that it doesn’t apply to MPs, Lords or any of their special pals.
