The age checkpoint results so far in the UK:

1. Not-for-profits and community groups which formerly had their own websites feel forced to move onto big social media platforms to avoid liability under the law.

2. The wrong types of content are being taken down.

3. "Age assurance" is applied widely to anything the slightest bit risky.

4. The list of websites that have shut down or started to geoblock the UK continues to grow.

5. There are constant reports of "age estimation" not working correctly — blocking people who should be allowed through and allowing those who shouldn't.

6. People are angry about it, and have responded by resorting to VPNs and other such tools in unprecedented numbers.

7. Perhaps emboldened by all this success in protecting the children, the government is now threatening all-out war on general-purpose computing in the form of requiring that devices "supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software" to scan for CSAM.

But it's only been a few months, I'm sure there's much more to come.
