As the UK moves ever closer to being a dystopian hellhole, gamers find a creative solution to access their favourite porn sites:
www.pushsquare.com
"Those of you living in the UK will be aware of the introduction of a set of "safety measures" which will require you to disclose your identity in order to access adult content. This obviously includes porn sites, but has also rolled out on services like Discord and Reddit.
Not every site implements the security measures in the same way, but some require you to scan your face using a smartphone camera in order to confirm you're of a certain age. It's a potentially dystopian development which raises concerns about all kinds of personal security risks.
While many of the verification companies claim photos won't be stored on their servers, it's perfectly understandable why people wouldn't want to participate in the process at all. So the obvious workaround is to use a VPN of some sort.
But creative Brits have also come up with another solution: scan Norman Reedus' face using Death Stranding 2: On the Beach's photo mode.
A lot of these security checks require you to complete a variety of different poses, like opening and closing your mouth, so the ability to select Reedus' facial expression comes in really handy here. And when you pair that with the overall quality of the character models in Kojima Productions' sequel, it all works a treat.
While we haven't personally tried it for ourselves, we've seen several people mention it on X (or Twitter), and PC Gamer wrote up a first-hand report as well.
We suppose if these safety measures can be so easily bypassed, then it's not massively different to the old "enter your age" verification forms we've all become accustomed to – it just takes a little more effort and nous than saying you were born in 1900 now.
It is pretty funny to think Reedus is about to become the most prolific gooner in the UK, though. He accessed Pornhub how many times in the last 30 minutes?!"
God bless Kojima and God bless the gamers of the UK!
