Jesus Christ did this actually pass?? I really hope for society sake other countries aren’t impacted or follow in the UKs footsteps. This is an enormous violation of privacy. We commonly gave China shit for doing stuff like this, but apparently we decided this was the right way to go. The data collected from this thinly veiled “age verification” will have enormous impacts on society.
No, not yet, and only the other day did they remove the requirement for breaking encryption from the proposed bill.
Oh thank god, hopefully these cunts will stop trying to pass this 🤞
It’s been under debate for a few years. There is renewed attention on it in recent days, it seems. Maybe it’s gotten more support, I’m not entirely sure.
