Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.
This is what Facebook does to verify accounts, they also autoban if you try to register with a temp email

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.
Explains the sudden advertisement in vpns, but I'm afraid they will have to shell out more proxies eventually

Is it just a selfie? I can still access NSFW reddit content without even logging in though.
Is it only a selfie? AI gen go brrr?

Lmao when the "anonymous" online forum requires de-anonymizing, I want to hope everyone leaves
To be clear, this is a UK law now applied to any website that serves UK citizens. Anything that hosts adult content requires UK citizens to provide some form of age verification. Like a photo (for AI age estimation), credit card, utility bills, and so on. The government is dumb, and I guess it's time to just sit on VPNs 24/7 now.

Real talk - or what? If LemmyNSFW isn't based in the UK, what can they do?
Block it? I'd rather have that than deal with processing users face data.
I believe if the UK finds a site that doesn't comply with the law, they will block it from their side of things. I haven't read anything about websites needing to be proactive to block the UK if they don't plan to comply.

Ohhhhhh, now I get why my account gets auto-deleted.
Does Discord do that too ?Because it makes sense

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 Passwords are becoming outdated and outmoded for security as we speak here. 2FA is the minimum security for online today but that may soon become outmoded as well.
That's because Netfilx is basically a media powerhouse & kind of a monopoly.
& your average person doesn't know how to effectively pirate

Didn't they ban NSFW a year ago?

no don't do it

Nah. An image of government ID. “But we don’t need your information, just confirmation of age” 🫠 forget that.

What’s considered a temporary email? How do they know?

Not globally at least. Let's just say I have an inside source

Meh, just upload a dick pic.

I guess this site will see some traffic.

Really ? This site says otherwise

I'm a UK citizen, fuck everything about this law. I'm so sick of the current authoritarian trend amongst some western countries. The UK is one of the worst offenders.
It's not even about protecting kids. It's about control and appeasing puritanical elements in society. We're the 6th richest economy in the world and we can't even offer some of the poorest kids food security. But at least they can't see a pair of tits on Reddit.

I believe so? I don't know it's been awhile since I've used Discord (I just went back to IRC). I know awhile ago when I had to use Discord I had issues signing back up with a temp email I created so perhaps.

just use one of the libreddit instances like safereddit.com or something. I mean why would you need to comment in a NSFW subreddit? worse comes to worse just use a VPN like mullvad. So many ways to circumvent this.

Parental controls exist. Use them instead. I fucking hate this.
tale as old as time even since I was a kid and I'm in my 40s. Reminds me of the original videogame rating system that Sega originally implemented in NA when the first Mortal Kombat came out. Parents, to this day, are still unable to manage what their kids consume.
I mean my parents never had an issue with this. Like when they'd rent movies, I wasn't allowed to watch Terminator 2 until I was like 13 and it was my Dads favourite movie. He put it on "ok, you have to leave the room now we're watching a movie" and I did.
