LONDON – British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing another rebellion from members of his Conservative Party who want to toughen legislation so websites are forced to introduce more robust age checks to stop children accessing pornography.
It is the latest pushback from lawmakers following a planned rebellion by Tory MPs earlier in January that prompted Mr Sunak to cave in to demands for Big Tech directors to face jail if they fail to remove harmful content. The new amendments, likely to be debated in late February, will demand that adults prove they are over 18 by using stringent forms of age verification already used for online gambling; for example, uploading an ID card or credit card details.
“What we need is an emphatic timetable and clear-cut commitment to hard-gated mandatory age verification,” Mr James Bethell, a Conservative peer who is overseeing the amendments, said in an interview on Tuesday. “The current provisions are a kumbaya aspiration that leaves open too many loopholes, no enforcement and no timetable.”
