May it wither and die. I would post my ID on the bathroom wall at Heathrow before I would submit it to what remains of Twitter.

And nothing of value was lost.
Sure, if privacy is worth nothing to you but I wouldn't speak for the rest of the UK and EU.
He means losing the platform because of -> FUD, misinformation and propaganda.

FUD has nothing to do with what this is about.

Y'all just laughing at Twitter when this isn't just a Twitter thing.

Sure, just echoing his wording to why "nothing of value" was lost as the person sees the platform as such.

You're still using Twitter?

What FUD? All I want twitter to be is a source of porn. And now it's not even useful for that anymore.
I still use Reddit for porn but that’s it. Tumblr had the best porn though.

Yeah there's absolutely no chance I'm providing my ID to any of these shady data brokers. Apparently Discord requires the same and it might finally be the thing that gets my mates to switch to Matrix or something that isn't a data hungry, privacy nightmare.

They should have blocked twitter because it is a shithole propaganda network.

This comment is pure poetry. I actually want to have it on my wall, with a beautiful frame.

Is there other platforms that are out there estimating our ages?
I know the whole age gate thing - being in the UK, believe me, I know. I've just never had a service go "we can't show you content. No, don't tell us your age, we'll work it out from the data we've collected from you".
That's a whole new one for me, I must admit.

Bluesky is better for porn. Even Lemmy is better for porn.

The EU approach to age verification
The European Commission is working towards an EU-harmonised approach to age verification.
Shaping Europe’s digital future (digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu)
At least the EU is somewhat privacy friendly here (excluding the Google tie in) compared to whatever data sharing and privacy mess the UK has obligated people to do with sharing ID pictures or selfies.
Proving you are 18+ through zero knowledge proof (i.e. other party gets no more information than being 18+) where the proof is generated on your own device locally based on a government signed date of birth (government only issues an ID, doesn't see what you do exactly) is probably the least privacy intrusive way to do this, barring not checking anything at all.

I've got no idea, but it's not the estimation of age it's that the EU now requires all sites offering adult content to confirm age. the idea of an AI estimating age over having to provide physical ID seems safer than the way most are doing it or going to do it.
