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
wrote last edited by [email protected]I used a VPN yesterday to see how it looks in the UK. Seems a lot of porn sites don't give a shit about UK and don't require any verification. So once again, the law abiding sites are punished while kids are pushed towards the lawless ones. As predicted.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

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.
Or just be a good parent and don't rely on censorship laws to be your babysitter.

Obviously, but not everyone is a good parent. What happens to those kids?

I just hope they won't move toward the "oh, you use encryption? Let's see how it protects you from solitary in jail" step too fast.
And no, I'm not sarcastic, I'm worried.

Can’t be a popsicle until you ram a stick up me.

They end up the same as all of us.
