⚡️🇬🇧 NEW - UK internet identity verification law backfires.

Britain's new "online safety" law was supposed to prevent minors from accessing porn sites by requiring identity verification.

However, according to the Washington Post, 14 major sites with no identity verification are seeing their traffic explode, with one site even doubling its traffic in the UK in one year.

Conversely, sites that play the game and comply are seeing their traffic plummet, and are therefore losing a great deal of money.

As a result, the new law penalizes platforms that respect the rule, and benefits those that ignore it. What's more, the law is easily circumvented.

I hate to say it, but porn is the litmus test of the free market

Porn and cat JPEGs are the cornerstone of the Internet’s success 😂
