Australian Home Office Proposes Facial Recognition Technology for Internet Users to Access adult content.Online casinos and pornography sites fall into this category.

Facial recognition is planned to be used to identify users to prevent minors from circumventing existing restrictions. If the proposal is approved, sites with adult content will be required to use biometric verification of their customers every time they log into their account. This will exclude access to the resources of teenagers who can register in online casinos using their parents' identity cards.

For data verification, operators will be able to use the Face Verification Service, which has been maintained in Australia since 2016. The same technologies are being proposed for use by companies in the banking and telecommunications industries.

Australian citizens were skeptical of the government's plans and criticized the proposal. In their opinion, this would be a direct invasion of privacy and could lead to mass surveillance.
