Digital checkpoints will crop up all over the Internet after UK MPs backed new powers to expand age verification.
The only way to block under-16s is to run checks on everybody.
That's millions more people having to hand over personal data to unregulated providers just to access everyday services.

The problem of online harms lies with the underlying business models of social media platforms.
Digital ID age checks do nothing to change that.
We need to disrupt the advertising-driven business models built on surveillance, profiling and maximising engagement.

More and more everyday web services will be locked behind digital checkpoints, despite the serious privacy and security risks of this system.

The UK Parliament continues to pursue an approach to online safety that doesn't work.
The Australian under-16 social media ban has failed to make any difference and people have sought ways around it.

“In less than a year, we’ve gone from proposals to check ID for porn to the prospect of checking ID to access social media or unlock everyday features such as livestreams or feeds.

Not the Boomers here on Mastodon, the ones out there, in the general population, believing everything the Press tells them...fucking up the lives of younger generations out of spite like they did with Brexit.
Crying about "wokeness" and having to treat people different to them as human beings, the 'oppression' of it all.
And then there's the fact the Climate is fucked and never unfucking itself
