King Of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite
The UK Verification Law, which came into force last month and requires that sites that houses adult content ensure that their users are not underage, had an unintentional victim: the most tattooed man in Britain.
It’s called King of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-It (yes, that’s your full legal name) and has a problem: I could no longer access the Pornhub.
According to the British, who has 90 % of your body covered with tattoosnow it cannot now that the sites that require age verification Through a selfie recognize him.
King of Ink, or the artist previously known as Matthew Whelanexplains that the online platforms that require photographic verification To confirm your identity were confused by their facial tattoos.
“The interface says’Remove your mask‘, because the technology was made so that a photo can not be held in front of the camera or wearing a mask, ”he explained to Metro.It’s not like you could do as John Travolta in the face/off and change it when I wanted to. It’s my skinmy permanent identity. ”
Not quite what happens in face/off. John Travolta (and Nicholas Cage, in this case) can not simply change face whenever he wants, explains the.
In the 1997 John Woo movie, the character played by Travolta undergoes an experimental procedure of facial transplantation To assume the appearance of the notorious mercenary terrorist Castor Troy (Cage) for information about a pump placed in Los Angeles.
But coming back to business – how to access Pornhub with tattoos in the face.
King of Ink’s difficulties Leave the naked a real problem with the UK Identity Verification System: Facial Recognition Technology contains prejudices in the way people processes.
Studies have found that facial recognition systems often have higher error rates for color people – Including a MIT reference that found that the error rate for light -skinned men was 0.8 %, compared to 34.7 % for darker -skinned women.
Researchers also found that human prejudices by guessing a person’s age are exacerbated by automated systemsleading to potentially inaccurate results.
Therefore, even if someone is not covered with tattoos, there is a reasonable hypothesis that age check systems wrongly identify them.
The implementation of these UK regulations left much to be desired, not just for King of Ink. The initiative of age restriction has so far been frustrated in various ways, for example, users are navigate to avoid verification requirements
Still, King of In You’re lucky for being British: Keep the hope that any solution will allow you to show your “true face” and access the well -known pornography site. In France, Pornhub upset with the requirements of the country’s age check law-and simply.
