Sending a dick pick. Now it's whatever is in front of these to make a though decision.
A very hard decision indeed.

Just upload a picture of any politician who voted for this.

Lmao when the "anonymous" online forum requires de-anonymizing, I want to hope everyone leaves
To your point, it's insane how much data reddit collects about you.

This is why many adult sites are banning access if your IP is from TN or any of the other american states that love jesus more than freedom.

Keeping the age verifier seperate from the content host is good. Destroying the files used for verification is good. On paper it's not too a bad system for age verification, but it really hinges on if you can trust them. Given the track record of basically almost every company and government ever...

That brings up an interesting thought. What if people uploaded AI generated selfies?
So long as its generated by the same (or a better model) it shouldn't be able to tell.

Parental controls exist. Use them instead. I fucking hate this.

This is what Facebook does to verify accounts, they also autoban if you try to register with a temp email

Explains the sudden advertisement in vpns, but I'm afraid they will have to shell out more proxies eventually

Is it just a selfie? I can still access NSFW reddit content without even logging in though.
Is it only a selfie? AI gen go brrr?

To be clear, this is a UK law now applied to any website that serves UK citizens. Anything that hosts adult content requires UK citizens to provide some form of age verification. Like a photo (for AI age estimation), credit card, utility bills, and so on. The government is dumb, and I guess it's time to just sit on VPNs 24/7 now.

Real talk - or what? If LemmyNSFW isn't based in the UK, what can they do?
Block it? I'd rather have that than deal with processing users face data.
I believe if the UK finds a site that doesn't comply with the law, they will block it from their side of things. I haven't read anything about websites needing to be proactive to block the UK if they don't plan to comply.

Ohhhhhh, now I get why my account gets auto-deleted.
Does Discord do that too ?Because it makes sense

We thought the same thing about Netflix with the sharing password bans. Yet they retained more profit than ever the next year.
Who's to say if this is what will make Reddit end, or did they actually just got more successful after the end of 3rd party apps compared to the declaration of so many users back then?
Digital personal verification is just going to become a fact of life in the future for everyone born after about 2012. They will use online ID cards, biometrics, location metadata that is constantly uploaded by our devices, maybe even implanted RFID encrypted chips for account verification. Passwords are becoming outdated and outmoded for security as we speak here. 2FA is the minimum security for online today but that may soon become outmoded as well.
That's because Netfilx is basically a media powerhouse & kind of a monopoly.
& your average person doesn't know how to effectively pirate

Didn't they ban NSFW a year ago?

Nah. An image of government ID. “But we don’t need your information, just confirmation of age” 🫠 forget that.
