Parental controls exist. Use them instead. I fucking hate this.

tale as old as time even since I was a kid and I'm in my 40s. Reminds me of the original videogame rating system that Sega originally implemented in NA when the first Mortal Kombat came out. Parents, to this day, are still unable to manage what their kids consume.

I mean my parents never had an issue with this. Like when they'd rent movies, I wasn't allowed to watch Terminator 2 until I was like 13 and it was my Dads favourite movie. He put it on "ok, you have to leave the room now we're watching a movie" and I did.

Why would anyone use that shit after this?

[–] iii@mander.xyz 11 points 5 months ago

Because all the alternatives will have to implement similar shit as well. It's UK law.

That's how they get your real identity and kompromat you/send you to jail for opposing the Western genocide du jour...

Perfect use for that old "This Person Doesn't Exist" website.

Umm. I just tried old.reddit on a "gonewild" subreddit with no login even, and it was fine. Now I'm sure they'll patch it out. But, seems to be an easy workaround as of right now.

I don't think it's been fully rolled out to everyone yet, as they don't have to start enforcing it until a later date.

does the federated nature of lemmy/piefed/kbin/etc prevent governments from taking action against them?
