How old is your account?
Reddit account?
Pretty old since I haven't nuked it yet, but I'm not even signed in above as you can see from the above screenshot
I should really login sometime to see if I have lots of threats from mister greedy Spez piggy again, but the headline here doesn't match up to me trying it in the UK rn.

That's what you get for using Reddit.

Ah there we go, same old shit
If you visit via old.reddit you can dismiss the modals to sign into the app or your account.

Why would anyone use that shit after this?
By "that shit", do you mean every website/app that may contain age-restricted (not just sexual) content? Because that's what comes into force in the UK next week.
I've been dreading this for decades. 🤬
It's not just Reddit, nor are they the first to roll it out early.

Banks have many safeguard to protect clients for example PCI DSS. On the other hand as far as I know this is a law requiring them to verify people and I don't think there is a standard for this. Every company will do its own thing. Highy regulated would require them to have some standard, and I don't see that.
Seems like you use the phrase "highly regulated" differently then me. You use it to describe solely the amount of control a government exercises on companies. For me it also includes the control a government exercises on people.
From my point of view the law heavily restricts, as in highly regulates, people's freedom to be. That's the mistake. Doesn't matter the specific implementation, acronym, task force, ...

An example for highly regulated for me would be a periodic audit to insure security and compliance with security control.
This law is honestly dangerous in regards to privacy and endangers miners not help them. There no safety guards whatsoever.You are correct that this law is dangerous regardless lf implementation though.

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

So from my experience of these type of systems (mostly in the context of banking services) they normally want to use your devices camera to take the picture directly, and normally also want a photo of a photographic ID to compare against.
Let’s not forget all that lovely metadata they can harvest by accessing the camera module, including the exact GPS co-ordinates the picture was taken.

You're overestimating Reddit's value.

So can I upload a dick pic?

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.

Just curious, how would this happen in practice? As I understand lemmy instances are defederated across the globe. Who would they send their demands to? Also there is already some nsfw content in lemmy, are those expected to respond now in some way?

The “won’t somebody please think of the children” rhetorical tactic is always just a pretext for authoritarianism, mass surveillance and data privacy intrusion. Always. It’s the perfect motte-and-bailey: when you attack the actual motives, the motte becomes, “So you don’t care about children?”
These assholes are all pedophiles and they use it to control the planet. To get to high levels of government, you must enter the shadow contract of pedophilia. It is easy to control people and trust people with that kind of shadow on them, so it is required.
Then they turn around and use pedophilia to control everyone else. Any tech that threatens their power, they can immediately shutdown by pedo-bombing it. The counter to pedobombing is authoritarian moderation. Once you have that, it is over. The government they control now can control the mods, and that means they control the narrative. THAT is one of the core enemies to fight. An alternative to Reddit or any other system is not enough.
Because pedophilia is such a taboo / social death sentence, it is among the most powerful shadow contracts.

Within banking apps it has become the norm, it shouldn't mean it's acceptable, but for the wider community it is accepted.
But for a fucking forum??
Christ.
Especially at a time when Europe are trying to establish digital sovereignty and all of the stories coming out about the US government having access to data. We already know that they are willing to share that with the highest bidder (s).People would have to be absolute morons to upload anything personal to Reddit, nevermind your photo ID like a passport or driving licence. But obviously that's what they're banking on (people being morons).

Many sites will just geo-block the UK. I think my Lemmy instance has, just like PornHub has blocked US states that have passed similar laws.
