Why would anyone use that shit after this?

[โ€“] Brewchin@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

By "that shit", do you mean every website/app that may contain age-restricted (not just sexual) content? Because that's what comes into force in the UK next week.

I've been dreading this for decades. ๐Ÿคฌ

It's not just Reddit, nor are they the first to roll it out early.

Many sites will just geo-block the UK. I think my Lemmy instance has, just like PornHub has blocked US states that have passed similar laws.

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