I’m just waiting for the response to be something along the lines of… “According to existing law (see Online Safety Act), websites are required to do age verification… blah blah blah, no changes will be made, thank you for your inquiry”
Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law.

There’s a UK Parliament petition to repeal the Online Safety act. There’s no guarantee it’ll do anything but might be worth a try for anyone in the UK.

Most likely, or maybe someone will try to use this to score some easy points with more online conscious voters. Probably not but one can dream.

Don’t forget to write to your MP - being polite but angry helps. Explain the issues, shortcomings and why you feel this should be repealed and a better user-friendly and privacy respecting alternative needs to be found BEFORE implementing stupid asinine knee-jerk legislation like this.
My poor MP is getting it in the jugular because they boasted about working in data security and I’m exploiting the hell out of that statement so they can’t easily weasel their way out of it.
