It is not just that, I don’t trust Persona security, it a malicious actor installed a silent program that monitors users and sends it to a command and control center they probably won’t know for months or even years. Cyber security these is very bad in most companies.

Very careful wording there to switch between Persona and Reddit to conveniently omit one from the justification given by the other.

Google uses reddit for its AI training. Just saying.

Time to go to LemmyNSFW

Under the new UK law, lemmynsfw would also need to have some kind of age verification for UK users.
donuts@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
This. Can’t believe we’re seeing “lol Reddit sucks” when this is a country-wide implementation and has nothing to do with Reddit in particular.
Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
So, the UK sucks.
lolrightythen@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
You are correct. But this doesn’t lessen the extent to which reddit sucks.

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.
blackn1ght@feddit.uk 5 weeks ago
Honestly I have no idea. I guess they could just block it if they don’t comply?

Even though LemmyNSFW is outside of the UK the admins of any instance will be responsible for verification of UK users because of this law. This is why .zip (Lemmy and PieFed) have geoblocked the UK. It’s a lot of work and responsibility to take on.
Here’s the post from DemiGodrick explaining this situation better than I can.
Important News - Geoblocking of the UK

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.

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?
floofloof@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
Maybe they’ll just make the Fediverse illegal in the UK. Or maybe all non-corporate sites that can’t afford to pay a company like Persona.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
Or it can just defederate from UK based instances.

.zip blocks users from the UK iirc.
blackn1ght@feddit.uk 5 weeks ago
Lemmy.zip blocks uk users on its front end but I think its contents is still federated.
