Reddit, once known for its online communities and discussions, said that while it does not want to know who its audience is: "It would be helpful for our safety efforts to be able to confirm whether you are a child or an adult." Obcom, the UK regulator, said: "We expect other companies to follow suit, or face enforcement if they fail to act."

>Reddit said that from 14 July, an outside firm will perform age verification for the social media platform either through an uploaded selfie or "a photo of your government ID," such as a passport.

You can no longer log on to Reddit with existing users until you verify.

It said Reddit itself will not have access to the photo and will only retain a user's verification status and date of birth so people do not have to re-enter it each time they try to access restricted content.

Reddit added that government operator "promises not to retain the picture for longer than seven days" and will not have access to a user's data on Reddit site.

Companies that fail to meet the rules face fines of up to 18 million pounds or 10% of worldwide revenue, "whichever is greater."

He added that in the most serious cases, it can seek a court order for "business disruption measures," such as requiring payment providers or advertisers to withdraw their services from a platform, or requiring Internet Service Providers to block access to a site in the UK."

Reddit already promised to co-operate.

it's pretty obvious that all of these bigcompanies want ID verification and all the data that comes with it.

if they didn't they could all simply block uk IPs and the british government would u-turn within a few days.

The UK is an island of pedos that point at each other and say "oy! peado! oy! look et em, es a peado! get'em!"
They're an island and they import 50% of their food. A good chunk of their energy supply is literally shipping wood pellets over from the US which they call "green". They allowed fucking London to become a city with a non-white majority. And, to top it all off, they have shit food.
In a decade England will literally be a third world shit hole that kids won't believe was once considered educated.

They don't care about your AGE.

They want your ID to IDENTIFY you so you can have a file built up on you.

It's 100% coming to 4chan too, they're currently debating on whether to ban access to 4chan entirely or just attach your passport to your post history to thought police you more effectively. Hope you're ready to pay for a proxy like a North Korean.

Brexit was always predicated on "returning the power to UK politicians from abroad, stop letting the EU meddle in our affairs". To anyone who actually had a brain it was obvious what would happen when these powers were returned to the UK political elite.

The UK government had been doing shit like the topic of this thread for years, kept trying and tying to ban porn, ban all types of encryption, restrict access to websites, etc. and almost every time the EU and ECHR stepped in and told them they're infringing on human rights to privacy and civil liberties within the EU and to fuck off. Now there's no EU to meddle the nanny state can go full steam ahead with all that shit as they had been craving the ability to do so for over a decade.

4chan is unironically, in the next few months, going to be either completely inaccessible from UK IP addresses, or UK IP addresses will be required to attach passport documents and upload them to the site and associate them with your posts (reminder that they jail people for Facebook posts and tweets here, once they can associate an edgy post on /pol/ with your real identity it's over), all thanks to the British political elite that nobody should ever trust getting their powers back from the EU.

The best thing about all of this is how much identity theft this is going to cause. The majority of the internet is porn and the UK government is trying to tell every porn site on the planet to check your passport to verify your age, this will no doubt make countless bad actor websites pop up just for the purpose of harvesting tech-illiterate normies' passports for identity theft. The UK government is going out of their way to put the lives and livelihoods of their own citizens at risk on the internet.

This moment has been coming for a long time, and it finally time for the public to respond.

>the UK regulator, said: "We expect other companies to follow suit, or face enforcement if they fail to act."
Any company who follows suit will be disowned and no longer used by the public.
> You can no longer log on to Reddit with existing users until you verify.
This is a test to see whether they can implement identity verification in the UK prior to rolling it out in other countries. It absolutely will not work.
The UK Reddit user base will drop drastically in response to this. Rather than uploading identity, people will simply cease to use the platform.

Any Internet website that requires identity, age verification or a “selfie” ESPECIALLY in a day and age where a single selfie can be used to generate questionable content of people, will simply no longer be used.

There's a big reason this shit has failed so often in the past (every government since Blair ramping up the nanny state totalitarian surveillance garbage every term) in the UK and it starts with E and ends with U.

The EU were also not part of Five Eyes and countries like Germany and France were notably very bitter when they found out about it.

Who you fooling, really? We already have alternate chans. This shithole went down and came right back. None of us need this place, and if you disincentivize it more than it is now we bleed into other spaces. Look what happened on X. And that's just cause you made 4chan gay by trying to control the consensus. Imagine what it would be like with 4chan gone.

All you're going to do is embolden hackers, private communities, identity salesmen, identity thieves, and strange Russian platforms that don’t require identity verification.

It’s suicide. Digital suicide.
You'll be creating a new age of digital techno anarchists that rebel against the dystopian internet identity verification age and it’ll plunge society into disorder.
The amount of resources you'll have to waste on containing it will be astronomical.
It’s economical, political and digital suicide.

Western countries are nowhere NEAR established enough to be able to pull this off effectively. Nowhere near.
The citizens will start wearing masks to thwart CCTV systems in public, they’ll register for the internet using someone else’s ID and everything they post will be off a burner laptop behind 48 proxies.

Bongs are all welcome to move to Aus where there will be a mass coordinated event to protest digital identity implementation if it’s ever attempted here. Sweden, Norway and Finland are supposed to be good too. We keep this up though and it’ll be looking like Russia. Maybe Snowden was right.
