    simply connect it to a facial recognition database (I understand the UK are quite fond of such)

    Yeah but that doesn’t mean they work.

      To be fair, that at least is hypothetically possible. Working out someone’s age exactly purely based on their face is not even possible, so you can argue against it very easily from a purely technical standpoint.

      Facial recognition with a database is quite good today, and will only get better. To argue against that you need to start getting into the privacy and ethical arguments.
