How it feels using TOR as a Brit rn 🤘
-
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

It would be great to have a restriction stronger than "are you 18 years or older?" so I can let my kids roam the internet without care. But this is a bit backwards.

Maybe his last name is Park
Parker is a fairly common English lastname too

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.

Ah, thanks!

... There has been. It'd called blocklists. UK specifically even had it at the IP level, but excluding that there's extensions that also block that stuff. There's actually many ways to block that stuff.

Everybody should download Tor Snowflake so we can help people circumvent TOR censorship.

It bothers me that the sunglasses are in front of the diagonal. That diagonal is also the wrong way.

Low-key if you're that incompetent you don't know about any kind of parental blocking you shouldn't have kids in the first place. We really don't need more stupid in the gene pool

There are plenty of options for blocking unwanted material from kids.
This is a leap towards removing any anonymity or privacy online so you can be punished for wrongthink - there is nothing here which helps protect children any better than what was already in place.
We should always be wary of laws being passed in the name of "protecting the children", because often they are used to justify government overreach, censorship, and good old fashioned authoritarianism.
Parents should educate themselves on how to curate a healthy online experience for their child, and I dare say maybe don't shove in iPad in their face from being a baby just to keep them quiet.
