Recently got two almost identical comments pushing Sammy's identity verification BS under my post with only 3 minutes in between., Both comments are gone now, luckily. I find it funny how sloppy this was, you would expect something better from a company looking to break the world, yet here we are.
>Critics say the three-year period is too long and point out that the legislation could require social media companies only to introduce parental controls, rather than imposing a hard age limit for their sites.
I think it should have started with parental controls instead of full on Australian style ban on everything. Especially given that the latter one was already proven useless.
If you are in UK please call your politicians and tell them that working with parental controls is the only way forward and you oppose wide bans and identity verification on the internet. Explain them how parental controls work and what's their purpose.
This is the perfect moment to show resistance!
I recently joined Proton in hopes of secure and private messaging experience. As I understood Google recently started to ask for ID verification to use their email services. Is there a way to know if Proton will follow the same route? I understand they ask for my payment details to use their service but right now it is nowhere near the full ID/selfie type of thing. In general I don't want my ID to be directly tied to every online service I use.
