Just saw someone draw Wumpus being spit roasted over a fire so I’d say the general sentiment towards this is negative

This single event alone should completely shut down the whole “age verification” argument. Getting this kind of sensitive info leaked and for an entire year is a really big and serious deal.

did people not read when it said they "delayed" it, not "cancelled"?

"Social media is as bad as drugs and alcohol" yeah well I've tried both:

Social media gave me community, friends, purpose, a way to express myself, work opportunities, access to information, and access to mental health sources.

Alcohol has not.

This is a crappy comparison.

Britain, I love you, but we have to stop creating new laws that further restrict public freedoms every time a tragic edge case becomes the most talked about issue in the country.

This is not a good way to legislate and it is not a good way to govern, no matter the tragedy.

A ruling has been issued in France declaring a law banning social media use for those under 15 unconstitutional. A key point raised in the ruling was the concern regarding age verification and privacy. I hope this decision serves to put the brakes on the global trend of age verification and social media ban laws that are gaining momentum under the banner of acting "for the sake of children."

@pcgamer Lol no thanks

[SPEAK UK @speakukorg]

The current situation with free speech in the UK is ABSURD. Here are five things that make NO sense:

1) The Online Safety Act means you can't read ordinary content on the internet without proving your age (things that have been banned include: political speeches, paintings, and hamster care forums).

2) People are arrested for online posts on social media because those posts are "grossly offensive". If we find posts objectionable or offensive, we should argue against them, not arrest them.

3) Thousands of protesters have been arrested over the course of the past year for holding up signs. Even if you disagree with them, they shouldn't be arrested for their opinions.

4) The UK is considering a youth social media ban, even though the evidence suggests that kids will get around the ban. This means you'll have to prove your age just to access social media.

5) The government is also considering making social media platforms give priority to content from major UK broadcasters. The state should not decide what rises to the top of your feed.

We need to fight back against the erosion of free speech in the UK.
