    You’ve missed some news my friend, it’s an EU problem too, just the legal and privacy lawyers are fighting much harder so it keeps getting pushed away from going into law.

    I’ll try and find some links for you in a sec

      of course it’s an eu problem too, but it was the uk that pushed through undercooked regulation that forced everyone to comply.

    It’s from everywhere tbh. But the EU is certainly the largest, most forceful block in getting age verification pushed through.

    The only upside is that the EU proposal demands ZKP, whereas all others are happy to accept/prefer “prove who you are”. That’s obviously an insane privacy nightmare.

      the eu hasn’t put anything to law yet, which at least the uk has. but yeah, of course they’re not blameless.
