British uptake of internet services that disguise a user’s online location has surged after new age verification rules came into force in the UK, threatening to undermine government efforts to protect children online.Thousands of sites offering adult content, as well as popular social media apps including X, Reddit and TikTok, have introduced new “age assurance” systems and controls for UK users since Friday, to comply with the Online Safety Act.

Doesn't deserve its own thread because the UK is a fucked hellscape anyway and this doesn't change anything but it's pretty bad that this has happened.

They're doing it in the US next. I don't know how long it's going to take them to coerce the developers of forum software like PhpBB and XenForo to comply or whether that's even possible. It seems like an interesting thing to contemplate. I haven't been affected at all by this because I don't use Pornhub or Reddit.

I'm pretty sure every website I've visted like this already has the sort of data that would've been collected by providing identification anyway, it's no less concerning that they're asking for it now

I guess a lot of them are using AllPass Trust
Discord has its own in-house one, the only way I know is there's one channel on the /vg/station Discord that's NSFW
Maybe photo ID becomes neccessary later on, I don't know. It'll get repealed in the next couple of months or there'll be a landslide Reform UK victory in the next general election. Everyone in the UK including me is addicted to the internet and doesn't compromise on the need to use a VPN to access porn probably. This is their silver bullet. I'm pretty sure this is the silver bullet of the Labor party.

How would verify by email work? It’s almost certain that they will end up demanding photo and/or video verification and that would be the end of privacy in the UK.

Unfortunately, Texas has fallen.

It has become a kike puppet state (more so then the rest of America), and I feel that this is just a way to keep track of the more week minded, porn addicted anti-semites.
