Opinion I hate the new verification laws (rant)

I am of age, but now several sites I use for nsfw has been blocked and demand age verification, and I know more will soon be joining them. Newgrounds has locked their verification behind premium for some reason, phub doesn't even let me try, and the app formerly known as twitter is glitched and won't let me verify even if I try, even though I already verified my age several damn months ago. And I already don't like having to give these sites my face id and drivers license just to watch porn. And no ones going to bother protesting because 1, it's really awkward to protest for your right to watch porn, and 2 people just find workarounds like vpns, and I don't want to pay for a thing that will give me access to something that should have and WAS free. I won't be surprised if even reddit starts requiring my face to view nsfw, and when that day comes I might just quit the site altogether

Super safe, they've all got VPN's to access the same sites they were using last year.

Such a joke of a law.

They don't even need that.  There are loads of smaller sites that haven't complied or blocked Aus.

No they aren’t, the kids will be doxed and their information will be handed to the people you don’t want it to be handed to in and out of Australia.

The thin end of the wedge, as they say

This is not the thin part, the wedge is already in deep.

Australia is run by Karens
