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🤘
There were restrictions in the UK before this latest measure got put in place, ISP providers provide it so parents could manage it. But my guess is a large proportion of parents were either too stupid to use, didn’t care, or simply didn’t know. Broadband parental control.
