Or it can just defederate from UK based instances.
.zip has already been trying to figure out how to handle this law, its also UK based.
Lemmy.zip blocks uk users on its front end but I think its contents is still federated.

They can force you to use your phone's camera. Due to faceID, modern phones have fairly sophisticated cameras that can tell the difference between a static image and a 3d physical face.
Meh, it’s just software

u/spez was the lead moderator of r/jailbait, and when he was caught, he got rid of mod transparency. Ghilisaine Maxwell was likely a l lead moderator of news Reddits as well (u/MaxwellHill). Reddit has always been compromised.
The speed they banned r/pizzagate was illuminating.

Did you not read my proposal? How does sending a header with extra information make the world a worse place for everyone else?
Please explain in detail, so I know you aren't just a troll who needs to oppose everything just because?

It should be trivial to generate a stack of similar enough selfies to fool these systems. Still, any site that starts requiring this shit isn't worth going on.
Agreed. I hope more people leave that dumpster fire.

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.
What if I just have AI generate a fake selfie with a fake ID? Are they gonna use AI to check it against a database? Well, I actually have my AI write a bunch of malware into the image and now I've hacked into the mainframe and downloaded your entire porn database. Suck on that harddrive

I don't use my phone for shit like this. If anything that could be just a website can only be used through an "app", I just don't use it.
Edit, also, what's stopping me from holding my phone to a computer screen?
-
Yeah, fuck all that.
Guess we're transitioning into a VPN only future.
We have the opportunity to head into a utopic or dystopic future and we're absolutely choosing the dystopic one.
They'll criminalize personal VPN users for non-work purposes, next.

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

Modern facial recognition cameras project a grid of infrared dots on your face and use the distortion of them to sense the depth and contours of your face. You'd have to 3d print a head to defeat it.
That said, Reddit is probably doing the bare minimum to comply with the law and will probably just use an uploaded 2d image.

A VPN future? Haha. Not if they don't want to. There are many ways to prevent VPN from operating when you're a government.
You can just plain ban encryption, which sounds really crazy, but yeah, they're trying to.
You can just say "it's illegal to use a VPN". It'll technically still work, but if there's a trace of trafic from your house to a known VPN endpoint, you're it! Great!
They can force custom proprietary spying software on your devices. Sounds equally crazy as the thing above, right? But rest assured they're ALSO trying to do that. Multiple times, even. And in some places… they did. Of course, nothing forces you to have such software on your device. Especially if your devices are not supported; it also turns into a "you have to buy this or that big name device, everything else's de-facto illegal! Fuck you, we're the government!". And if you get caught for whatever, and your phone, PC, or anything isn't "compliant"? Bam. Guilty.
Plenty of option. All of them completely stupid and would weaken both privacy, individuals, and governments at large. It never stopped legislation from being pushed forward.

It'll almost certainly be an AI model doing it.
Yeah, this is showing up at roughly the same time we can get (almost) free 5 second video generation from some services, and fast still picture generation on consumer grade hardware. It's the perfect combination of useless, stupid, and obsolete, all in one very pricey and very dangerous precedent-filled package.

Probably. reddit has tons of content from back when humans were the dominant posters there and that comes up in search results. I can see a future where text searches will turn up reddit posts much like image searches flood you with pinterest shit.
techno-archeology is a thing I guess

thats not what pov means, upload a selfie as punishment
POV = point of view. The intern's point of view. They're looking at the selfies submitted by gooners. The picture is a gooner. Idk what you're talking about.

How do you think this will go down? Parents calling the ISP with "please unblock porn sites for me"? I see various things why this won't work. From ISPs not wanting to increase the number of service calls over Apple's Private WiFi MAC addresses to these kind of customers not even knowing how their devices appear on the router. Nah, completely unfeasible.
Yeah. I like the idea of separare WiFi. INE forma adults and another for kids

Work VPN doesn't look any different to any other VPN to the people tapping the lines.

I agree, and whilst I don't personally bother with vpns myself because I prefer other solutions, it's one of the things that helps prevent insane UK politicians' bad hottakes on tech becoming law
Edit: an apostrophe

That brings up an interesting thought. What if people uploaded AI generated selfies?

Reddit stopped being any good when that guy doing a batman/joker role reversal writing prompt stopped posting
