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.

Time to go to LemmyNSFW

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

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 2 months ago
So, the UK sucks.
lolrightythen@lemmy.world 2 months 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 2 months 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?

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.

Or it can just defederate from UK based instances.

.zip blocks users from the UK iirc.
blackn1ght@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Lemmy.zip blocks uk users on its front end but I think its contents is still federated.
