They'll criminalize personal VPN users for non-work purposes, next.
Good luck, I'm behind 7 proxies.

Sounds like a loophole to me!

Bet that this won’t stop anyone from using it. People are sheep. Easily pacified and all too willing to give up whatever is requested for even the tiniest of endorphin boosts.

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 Passwords are becoming outdated and outmoded for security as we speak here. 2FA is the minimum security for online today but that may soon become outmoded as well.
I literally haven't had a Netflix sub since that year and I sometimes miss the convenience of it even. Haven't been very frequent on reddit in 2 years. Neither company is going to miss me though.
Soon it'll just be piracy and the fediverse for me, and maybe I'll be able to show my daughter how to download movies and shows, but I'm sure within within her lifetime, piracy will just become so unpopular that all the good sources of content die out. I do hope the fediverse will stay around though. It has a similar problem to piracy: It's not that it's hard, it's more that the people making everything work get tired and it's hard to convert people.

LOL. No "we" didn't. A few idiots did.
These large tech companies have e focus groups and can do extensive research on how their markets will react to these changes.
Any analysis on social media just doesn't have access to that data.

So, the UK sucks.

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.
