Yeah, everyone and their dog should jump on this.
Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law
Gigasser@lemmy.world 1 month agoTbh, I don’t know why a push by more left leaning sites hasn’t happened? This would at the very least show the broader unpopularity of the age verification law among pretty much both sides.

One problem is that quite a lot of left leaning people support this. Certainly in the UK the Labour Party has been paternalistic for a long time, thinking that the public are not able to look after themselves when it comes to having liberties. On issues like this there’s little between labour and Tories, with them swapping places quite frequently.
We haven’t had a socially liberal government in 70 years at least.

What’s a left leaning site that has lots of ‘adult’ or ‘harmful’ content?

I guess the parts of the fediverse that allows adult content. There's a lot of people on the fediverse dedicated to supporting sex workers and stuff like that. None of these sites or users are in a position to sue the UK though.

You’re right.

Because they have too much shame.
It takes the shameless to stand for freedom most of the time.
Which means frequently it’s the worse kinds of people, the loudest and the most shameless. Who start. Others then follow once the ice is broken.
