This is what Facebook does to verify accounts, they also autoban if you try to register with a temp email
Ohhhhhh so that's why, now I get why my FB account got auto-deleted repeatedly.
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 Passwords are becoming outdated and outmoded for security as we speak here. 2FA is the minimum security for online today but that may soon become outmoded as well.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

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.
Didn't they ban NSFW a year ago?

For some reason I immediately thought of this.

no don't do it

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?
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.

Proton mail has a feature where you can create a new address that ties to your main one, but nobody except proton knows it is you. They end in passmail.net. I'm sure there are other providers that do similar things

Just post on them. Two birds with one stone.
But if you do comply, double down by ringing Kier Starmer up and letting him (and your local MP) know what you've been wanking off to, since he's so fucking interested. He could have blocked this, but he let it run because he also agrees with it.
I wonder if there's a browser addon to make an itemised list of all the videos and camgirls and then I can send it to him on a regular basis. It should log when you close the browser window so it knows when you've "finished" so to speak. Maybe I could highlight those videos in bold for him, so he can skip right to the good ones.
Browser history? Just export as html or something and email it over…

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...
Problem is, how do we know that the company is reputable, audited, and so on?
I’ve seen more places requiring verification - and each one of them seems to use a different verification company. How are there so many of these places, and why aren’t they more commonly known? Like Experian for credit, etc.
Sure it might sound good to keep them separate - but all that is doing is absolving the content host from liabilities for providing the adult content (somewhere) on their platforms and sites. Reddit don’t want to get involved, and I’ll bet they found the cheapest and easiest provider, or the first one in the search list and thought “good enough”.

I don't have any government ID

Cool. Thanks

Good take. You are right. Still fuck this.
