Sending a dick pick. Now it's whatever is in front of these to make a though decision.

Just post on them. Two birds with one stone.

But if you do comply, double down by ringing Kier Starmer up and letting him (and your local MP) know what you've been wanking off to, since he's so fucking interested. He could have blocked this, but he let it run because he also agrees with it.

I wonder if there's a browser addon to make an itemised list of all the videos and camgirls and then I can send it to him on a regular basis. It should log when you close the browser window so it knows when you've "finished" so to speak. Maybe I could highlight those videos in bold for him, so he can skip right to the good ones.

Why would anyone use that shit after this?

[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week 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. 🤬

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.

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

I keep thinking about some of RPs I've done in my life. Hot, vile, smutty text based RPs. I think about them and wonder if there will ever be a time when those words would be considered illegal and I would be arrested for posting them. This doesn't just protect minors. It tags deviance. Some of you may know the darker corners of Reddit. Imagine if an AI flagged your subs. The delete-rebuild cycle doesn't work anymore. Reddit will always know. If the law asks for suspects for newly illegal thought crime, Reddit will be able to point to all the users on those dark corners. We are moving into a future where privacy doesn't matter and I fear what that means for the kinky among us.

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.

[–] appropriateghost@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

so those scam popups that scare people by saying their webcam was hacked and took pictures of them while looking at porn is getting state sanction!

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 week ago

Lol. Fuck off reddit.
