So-called age verification for social media is spreading across the world, framed as an effort to create a safer internet for children. In reality, age verification lays the foundation for a fully government controlled internet.
I wouldn’t be so sure. As more and more countries apply these laws it’ll be easier for companies to just enforce it for everyone instead of having to keep track of where it’s required
I’m actually surprised that I’ve encountered this (when ending up on a UK exit viewing porn).
It’s super annoying to have to spend 15 seconds changing the exit on my VPN app and refreshing to make the age verification modal go away
don’t worry, soon it’ll be everywhere so you won’t have to bother w switching your vpn.
