and it has no interest in your identity.
what blatant lies.
- Even better generate one. it helps speed up AI decay

- LPT: Turn safe search off, and you don’t even need the NSFW subreddits. You can search for adult anything and those results are guaranteed to contain porn. Usually, the more you scroll, more hard core it gets. When you go deep enough, you’ll eventually start finding furries too.
  
  Sounds like a bad way to do things. Won't you end up with gore on your feed? Not to mention it would be hard to filter out really dehumanizing, gross porn (which is frankly a description that fits most of it anyway)
  
  Are Furrys considered hard-core? I always thought it a little bit more silly than anything.
  (no judgement)
  
  Don't have to go particularly deep if you search "furry porn", life hack
  
  When you go deep enough
  hehehe
  
  Less for crap sites, like Reddit or porn, which at my age in any case don't cause much interests, but the age prove also appears in movie streams classified as +18 and even +16, even in YouTube and not only in movies, also in some Music, like eg. Harakiri for the Sky - Funeral Dreams, because harsh content and others, blocked by the US Flanders moral.
  
  Pretty sure that not all NSFW subreddits are focused on images and/or videos,in which case this suggestion does not seem to work.
Wanker loicense
- When I was 6, I earned my pen licence at school.
  Now as an adult, who do I need to prove my proficiency to in order to receive my wanking licence?
  
  The wank auditor will see you now.
- Oh god I'm so nervous for my wanking practical test. I only just passed the wanking theory!
- Don't worry the gooners know all about that
No problem

- Can you use it with that watermark on it? I'd be surprised.
  
  No, but with a screenshot without the Watermark at the bottom, there are also apps to delete Watermarks (always have to explain everything to today's kids 🙄)
What prevents you from uploading a picture of someone else?

- It gets you to turn your head. It's not just a selfi.
Meh, just upload a dick pic.
- oh if it isn't a greedy little piggy

You must show your id to access NSFW subreddits!
"oh no!"
changes www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com on the adress bar
"anyways"
Tho i remember when they removed compact reddit. But i think if they remove old.reddit.com, people will really start to leave, so they'll try to get rid of it quietly.
- I do wonder how long they'll let old.reddit.com stay. I assume they don't want it but are worried about the backlash
  
  Maybe. They could just let it rot. Let it break over time. Thus pushing people onto the new site.
surely nothing could go wrong with this
Kids everywhere making deepfakes.
Well, that law aged like milk.
Several years ago, I tried making an Instagram account. It was locked immediately (on first log in). They good me to upload a selfie where I was also holding up my driver's license.
- This is still the case
Come to the fediverse we have porn?
- Yes, the federated model might make it somewhat harder for governments to enforce these kinds of laws. Until those governments catch up. 🙁
  John Perry Barlow was right: https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence
  
  balkanization of all types always seems to be the answer to these sorts of dystopian laws and i hope that it happens despite evidence contrary.
- I seem to remember only <7 instances allowing porn posts when I joined up. As a practical matter, I don't remember the last time I saw porn posted from any instance besides lemmynsfw.com
  TL;DR: Porn on Lemmy is as centralized and easilly squashed by regulation as anywhere else.
  
  Yeh, but it's available through your instance even though it's hosted there.....
  Unsure how that is meant to work legally.
- If this law says in place and is actually enforced all fediverse instances will need to start verifying age for UK users too.
  
  Is that so? Why would anyone with an instance from another country give a shit about UK law? Honest question, I have no clue about these kind of laws.
- Yup, we have.
- heh, come
I will straight up never give any social media site a real email address let alone a photo of myself.
With 72 years it is insulting for me to have to prove my age and the only thing they will prove will be my middle finger 😡
This is horrible, I remember they did the same thing with Facebook marketplace (only for everything not only NSFW lol) although you can just use a random AI generated face.
Question for a nuclear armed friend:
Besides football and good panAsian food, what exactly are we keeping terf island around for?
- Lol they suck at football so not even that can save them
  
  ItS CoMiNg HoMe
- The lead belt and a comically large toy company.
- I'm sorry but I can't live in a world without derivative British TV documentaries.
  
  So funny and perosnnly love that
- Maybe for their teeth. And for Commonwealth.
They'll probably VPN to mainland Europe to sign up for their account.
Chants of "aye aye... AI" resound
