6 hours from now, Brits will no longer be able to view 18+ content on the internet.

That is unless they hand over their ID and face scans so they they can be put in a big database.
A database, which when it eventually leaks, will reveal the internet history and porn habits of every Brit who complied with the new law.

It also means that from midnight tonight 4chan will be illegal in the UK, since it lacks ID verification.

Does this also happen in your country?
How would people in your cunt react to such a law?

>After 12 years of posting, which in spite of all reverses will go down in history as the most glorious and most courageous manifestation of a people's will to post. I cannot separate myself from the general which is the capital of this /int/. Because our forces are too few to permit any further resistance against the enemy's assaults, and because individual resistance is rendered valueless by blinded and characterless scoundrels, I desire to share the fate that millions of others have taken upon themselves, in that I shall remain in this imageboard. Furthermore, I do not want to fall into the hands of enemies who for the delectation of the hate-riddled masses require a new spectacle promoted by the Blairites.

>I die with a happy heart, aware of the immeasurable deeds and achievements of our posters on /int/, our lads at /britfeel/, the achievements of our /brit/pol, and the work, unique in history, of our slagposters who bear my name.

>That from the bottom of my heart I express my thanks to you all, is just as self-evident as my wish that you should, because of that, on no account give up the struggle but rather continue it against the enemies of the British people, no matter where, true to the creed of a great Canslad. From the sacrifice of our posters and from my own unity with them unto the Ofcom ban, will in any case spring up in the history of Britain, the seed of a radiant renaissance of the /brit/ idea, and thus of the realization of a true community of imageboards.

Crazy how the internet I grew up with is all dead or on the cusp of dying. Even the backwater sites are getting shut down. It'll always be possible but for the average person it might as well be gone forever.
I'm expecting one day for the whole site to just 404 and never come back with nothing to replace it. Even sanitized shit like Reddit will be culled eventually and the death of anonymity on the internet will be complete.
It's going to be a sad day when this old man turns his 'puter off for the last time, with only memories of what was. And then looks outside to see the world has regressed even worse than the internet.

Yeah. It will happen in before 2030 according the WEF agenda. But zoomers don't have a problem with destroying the anonimity of internet users, censors, monopolization of internet etc. They don't even know using web browsers, so as long as tiktok, x, youtube, instagram and reddit open, they wouldn't have a problem. their whole internet is this.
But i think globohomo can't shut down Tor network or I2P.

Depends, you might get a warning letter from your ISP. But that's been the case since the early 2010s.

Porn is bad. But their end game is banning so called "far-right, incel, alternative politics, hardline religious" websites for trivial reasons like hate speech, russian disinformation etc. and implement an AI tracking system and cateogorizing people in between "dangereous to current system/narrative" or "least dangerous".
WEF explained this 2030 globalist agenda before the covid. Also prepare for a cyber pandemic, it will be way bigger than ransomware attack happened few years ago. They want to reset the internet and delete everything from pre 2019.

It is already over for Europe before immigrant crisis. Your population aging very fast and there is no resources to feed your welfare state ponzi.
>>213121316
It is most likely for porn. But UK will ban all the other sites from different political spectrum too.
Like your site will be censored if you say about negative things about women's rights or ukraine.

Everyone talks about global surveillance state shit, but I think as more of big tech's money comes from the third world, pedoshit and chudposting will be allowed on all major apps. I've noticed it's basically become like that on all social media.

The fact that western governments are trying to Great Firewall of China is a sign that they're losing imo. They used to be able to dominate the conversation as most of the market share came from firstie countries, but not anymore.

It is fraud none the less. You might encounter material which might cause you stress and anxiety and the government would not be aware of it, and may not be able to send you immediate help or at least track your movements accordingly to prevent self-harm.
