"From Friday (25 July), a new set of laws aimed at protecting children from potentially harmful content by insisting that websites hide adult content and features behind age verification checks will go into effect."

This also applies, to, I'd assume, Wikipedia, chanboards, social media and pretty much everything that allows people to post. UK is marching right into fascism. The law is so vague, that any site that might "hurt someone's feelings" has to see your face or get your bank card before you can post.

It's a good time to be a VPN provider.

Fuckin eh, it's an even better time to have one of those VPN services that replicates real traffic. I'm not sure if implementing that is as simple as routing your shit through obsf4proxy and SSL, but it looks like there are some specialized services that perectly looks like real traffic. It'd be an interesting business idea

You mean so that if they block tor/vpn you could still sell them that service? Sounds cool. Whole underground cottage industry with page advertisements tacked on community boards.

It's just an excuse to progressively kill the last remaining parts of anonymity online "think of the children" as usual, it isn't the first time it is used to enforce specific laws that may not have passed otherwise. If it was framed as "you'll need to give your face ID or credit card online before accessing teh internetz" without anything more to it, it would have been far more controversial than "it's to verify your age so that underage teens can't access content that would be harmful to them of course..."

Literally not the first time such a law is approved/proposed (under the same excuse):
>Communications Decency Act (CDA) – 1996, USA
>California Violent Video Game Law – 2005
>Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) – 2000, USA
>Anti-Encryption Proposals – 2016–2020
>Video Game Ratings Enforcement – 1990s
>Australia’s Mandatory Internet Filtering Proposal – 2007–2012

I remember when gcrypt and openssl had to be hosted outside the US due to crypto laws against export. Java's JDK came with "strong but limited" encryption - you had enable the "unlimited" version specifically.
