Context: UK passed this online safety act thing a few days ago (source) where you have to verify your age on sites that might contain nsfw content and the checks involve stuff like uploading a photo of your face, ID or even your passport. if anything it’s just making people more unsafe (look what happened with the Tea app which required similar verification (source)). ain’t gonna dox myself to the government/companies and it’s easily circumvented using TOR lol. fuck da system🤘
I used a VPN yesterday to see how it looks in the UK. Seems a lot of porn sites don’t give a shit about UK and don’t require any verification. So once again, the law abiding sites are punished while kids are pushed towards the lawless ones. As predicted.
are you telling me the thing that’s meant to harvest personal data isn’t useful as a child protective tool?
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
