They should have blocked twitter because it is a shithole propaganda network.
They should block it die local laws, because you shouldnt support a nazi…
May it wither and die. I would post my ID on the bathroom wall at Heathrow before I would submit it to what remains of Twitter.
This comment is pure poetry. I actually want to have it on my wall, with a beautiful frame.

And nothing of value was lost. In fact, it might shield more European users from FUD, misinformation and propaganda.
And nothing of value was lost.
Sure, if privacy is worth nothing to you but I wouldn’t speak for the rest of the UK and EU.
He means losing the platform because of -> FUD, misinformation and propaganda.
FUD has nothing to do with what this is about.
Sure, just echoing his wording to why “nothing of value” was lost as the person sees the platform as such.
What FUD? All I want twitter to be is a source of porn. And now it’s not even useful for that anymore.
Bluesky is better for porn. Even Lemmy is better for porn.
My feed right now.
I still use Reddit for porn but that’s it. Tumblr had the best porn though.
From Twitter yes, but there are better sites. 🫠
Does the EU already have legislation demanding the age verification? I’ve so far only heard about the UK‘s Online Safety Act being effective since last week, but not about anything in the EU (yet).
At least the EU is somewhat privacy friendly here (excluding the Google tie in) compared to whatever data sharing and privacy mess the UK has obligated people to do with sharing ID pictures or selfies.
Proving you are 18+ through zero knowledge proof (i.e. other party gets no more information than being 18+) where the proof is generated on your own device locally based on a government signed date of birth (government only issues an ID, doesn’t see what you do exactly) is probably the least privacy intrusive way to do this, barring not checking anything at all.
DSA allegedly has provisions, but I still have to check it
Y’all just laughing at Twitter when this isn’t just a Twitter thing.
Is there other platforms that are out there estimating our ages?
I know the whole age gate thing - being in the UK, believe me, I know. I’ve just never had a service go “we can’t show you content. No, don’t tell us your age, we’ll work it out from the data we’ve collected from you”.
That’s a whole new one for me, I must admit.
I’ve got no idea, but it’s not the estimation of age it’s that the EU now requires all sites offering adult content to confirm age. the idea of an AI estimating age over having to provide physical ID seems safer than the way most are doing it or going to do it.
It’s ok when it happens to them! /s
You’re still using Twitter?
the eu made twitter better by hiding all the content
Yeah but still should be against it. Maybe this will happen in more countries.
You’re right, I just couldn’t resist
That’s an improvement.
Estimates? That seems even more problematic.
Estimates is better it can be easily bypassed:
o no it will be so hard to give up this fascist sewerhole i better give them my facial bioscan
