Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits

Those that have entered into the shadow contract. A shadow contract is one of few mechanisms to enter large-scale consensus (it isn't THAT large when compared to a solar or galactic scale, but large enough for planetary control, and with some clever management, can scale larger).
Consensus requires untrusted sovereigns agreeing to collective action. It is a very difficult mechanism to operate. One way is by having a crime so heinous, the mass population block would eviscerate you if it came to light.
Pedophilia is king among these shadow cornerstones. It illustrates a total lack of empathy, no protective nature towards the innocent, no concern for the perceptions of society, high intellect / manipulation abilities, and a willingness to do anything. You can say it is the "panther" among the shadows.
So most leadership is among that tribe, which is why they are the way they are. It is only logical.
There are other tribes as well. Use your imagination and the answers will follow.
Funny thing, Reddit did that "circle" event many years ago. How big did anyone's circle get? That is an example of what I am explaining. It is nearly game theoretically impossible to have large scale consensus without some mechanism to make sure people are on the same page.
Was leaded gas common when you grew up? Just curious

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.

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?

They can see and manage the router remotely no reason why they couldn't do it. Mine let's me turn off the router lights, change the WiFi password or turn of the WiFi all together.
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.

What if I'm actually a set of traffic lights and the AI can't work out what I am from my selfie?
I identify as a zebra crossing.

POV: You're the intern tasked with reviewing the selfies.
thats not what pov means, upload a selfie as punishment

It still requires arbitration of every digitally communicated thought, whether it's age appropriate and to what degree. It's mass thought policing, as well as trying to enforce a cookiecutter morality on every person.
I get the desire to enforce thoughts on someone else. But fight it, please. At least let people be free in their own mind.
Especially since the tools to achieve your stated goal, protection of your child(ren), are already available. So you can perform your censorship desire in the confinement of your family bubble. No need for collateral damage.

Lmao when the "anonymous" online forum requires de-anonymizing, I want to hope everyone leaves
Some people will leave, the rest will ride it out as Reddit continues to transform itself into Facebook

That could very well be the POV of the intern having to approve career gooners

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.

“Reddit has stressed that this system is only to verify users' age, and it has no interest in your identity. Lee further stated that Persona won't know what subreddits you visit, and has promised it won't keep users' uploaded images more than seven days.”
Press X to doubt.
Oh the cute little corpo is promising to delete your data, how can we not trust him🥺🥺

Under the new UK law, lemmynsfw would also need to have some kind of age verification for UK users.
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.

It'll almost certainly be an AI model doing it.
-
And it would know the difference how?
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.

.zip blocks users from the UK iirc.

I don't think we ever really had a choice

does the federated nature of lemmy/piefed/kbin/etc prevent governments from taking action against them?
It makes it harder at least.
The government can try to take action on an instance, but there's still every other instance. -
I've once attempted to open a bank account where they wanted video proof, and expected me to say a randomly assigned phrase, to solve the issue you mention.
I didn't do it. Fucking KYC is BS.
As much as I dislike it, it makes sense for banks to do that.
