The Register 消息，英国《网络安全法》实行数月后，未成年人仍然可以极其轻易的欺骗年龄验证系统。常见的方法包括使用电子游戏中的自拍模式、输入假生日、使用别人的身份证或者往自己的脸上画假胡子。17%的家长承认曾积极帮助孩子绕过年龄验证，而另有9%的家长则对此视而不见，他们相信自己和孩子都明白自己在干什么。 https://www.theregister.com/2026/05/04/uk_online_safety_act_age_checks_subvert/ #互联网抗癌记 #野火烧不尽春风吹又生 #新闻 #未成年人 #社交媒体 #年龄验证 #Minor #SocialMedia #AgeVerification #News
