I would not under any circumstances give my drivers license to a for profit app. I don’t even like to give my email.
apparently there's some law in the UK that mandates it now 🙄
Well UK, have the day you voted for I guess
Unfortunately this is the better of the two main parties. This isn't republicans winning because dems didn't vote. Labour won, and this still went through. The UK government as a whole has been on an anti porn brigade for decades. I can't wait for the day labour and the Tories just die off.
Technically the act passed in 2023 under the Sunak government.
That said; I can't seem to find a vote breakdown and I would not be at all surprised if labour also backed it.
I'm hoping enough public dissatisfaction leads to labour repealing it but I won't hold my breath.
