UK users of Reddit, X, Insta, FB, Bluesky, TikTok, and many other popular platforms are now facing problems. They are being forced to verify their age using government issued IDs and a selfie. All of these for-profit corporations may use this information further for profit or may not even store user information securely. This is a nightmare scenario for many, and I wouldn't be surprised if other governments adopt similar laws.
@nixCraft Fortunately (sic) enough this Labour government might be considering banning vpn's altogether?? And then the social democrats (just to be clear usually my kind of party) wonder why they're losing elections? Bootlicking Trump and then mimicking China. Bring it on!
