Wikipedia is currently in a legal battle with the UK government to try and stop the platform being censored in the UK - or even completely blocked - thanks to the Online Safety Act.
Wouldn't it be funny if you could bypass it with 1 line of code in ctrl + shift + i > console Object.values(webpackChunkdiscord_app.push([[Symbol()],{},r=>r.c])).find(x => x?.exports?.default?.__proto__?.getCurrentUser).exports.default.getCurrentUser().ageVerificationStatus = 3;
> Wake up > New UK law banning +18 content without ID verification > Banned from opening channels on my own Discord server > MY DISCORD SERVER. THAT I OWN. I'm tired of defending the UK. It truly is shit to be British.
Just a few minutes after the Online Safety Act went into effect last night, Proton VPN signups originating in the UK surged by more than 1,400%. Unlike previous surges, this one is sustained, and is significantly higher than when France lost access to adult content.
This is an overt move to end anonymity on the internet, by a government that sends the cops round to people’s houses for wrongthink. Get a VPN, or be put on a list.
The Uk government forcing discord to scan my face or show my id to verify my age is genuinely draconian. "Oi you got a license for that" jokes are 100% justified.
If it wasn't incredibly obvious, age verification was always about political censorship under the guise of protecting the children
Twitter has begun blocking videos of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza for users in the UK. Twitter says the censorship is due to the UK’s new Online Safety Act, which mandates age verification for sensitive content. However, Twitter does not allow users to manually verify their age.
The biggest story on US twitter being an app leaking all of it’s users ID’s while in the UK it’s the government rolling out ID verification to access the internet and claiming it’s perfectly safe
Shame on you, @Keir_Starmer
