nixCraft 🐧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.
Trezzer (aka Helvedeshunden)@nixCraft The EU is working on something similar, but that will be an app instead – which only verifies age without handing over data. Forcing people to send their personal ID to ad-driven corporations is insanity.
