An interesting letter from Ofcom, about the UK's proposed social media ban for children / age verification of everyone.

The letter stops quite a way short of saying that the plan is feasible.

The most that Ofcom says is that it "*should* be technically feasible" - not "is" or "will be", but merely "should".

It then goes on to explain various technical challenges.

@neil small typo from Ofcom there it should have read: _identity verification for everyone_
