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.
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.

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.
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.

Indeed. With our current system it was only a matter of time. As soon as the internet became a default thing which everyone needed to access just to function in their daily lives, it would of course be subjected to the exact same exploitative mechanisms that the non-internet part of our lives have suffered from since the dawn of history.

How does sending a header with extra information make the world a worse place for everyone else?
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.
Have you ever looked at how age rating systems work? It has absolutely nothing to do with "arbitration of every digitally communicated thought", "thought policing" or "cookiecutter morality".
With this brainrot conspiracy level post of yours you outed yourself as a troll.
Keep your conspiracies, or better get help. That kind of stuff is not healthy.

NSFW selfies?

is reddit still alive? it must be 100% bot on bot action by now...
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.

Waauw, you really are unsympathetic.

Good example: they are already used for example to censor the idea of non-heterosexual relationships (1). Don't let them expand it, or give them even more tools, please.
Your stated goals already are achievable with existing tools.

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

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.

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?

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.
