🇬🇧 UK’s Online Safety Act is now in effect.
It forces platforms to scan for “illegal” and “harmful” content (even in private messages) and implement strict age checks for adult sites with face scans and ID checks.
Signal and WhatsApp warn it threatens encryption, privacy, and online anonymity.
For your safety 🇬🇧

dude this is fucking horrible, does anyone know how do they actually implement it ?
Can VPNs be an effective workaround?
Yeah, as a user you can use a VPN, but UK companies showing content deemed age inappropriate are expected to detect users trying to hide their status via VPNs. So it'll be an ongoing battle I'm sure
People seem to think so...
Good
Always for your safety.
