Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.
Meh, just upload a dick pic.
I’m a UK citizen, fuck everything about this law. I’m so sick of the current authoritarian trend amongst some western countries. The UK is one of the worst offenders.
It’s not even about protecting kids. It’s about control and appeasing puritanical elements in society. We’re the 6th richest economy in the world and we can’t even offer some of the poorest kids food security. But at least they can’t see a pair of tits on Reddit.
This is what Facebook does to verify accounts, they also autoban if you try to register with a temp email
Ohhhhhh, now I get why my account gets auto-deleted. Does Discord do that too ?
Because it makes sense
What’s considered a temporary email? How do they know?
Didn’t they ban NSFW a year ago?
Not globally at least. Let’s just say I have an inside source
Is it just a selfie? I can still access NSFW reddit content without even logging in though.
Is it only a selfie? AI gen go brrr?
Parental controls exist. Use them instead. I fucking hate this.
Keeping the age verifier seperate from the content host is good. Destroying the files used for verification is good. On paper it’s not too a bad system for age verification, but it really hinges on if you can trust them. Given the track record of basically almost every company and government ever…
Just upload a picture of any politician who voted for this.
so those scam popups that scare people by saying their webcam was hacked and took pictures of them while looking at porn is getting state sanction!
We thought the same thing about Netflix with the sharing password bans. Yet they retained more profit than ever the next year.
Who’s to say if this is what will make Reddit end, or did they actually just got more successful after the end of 3rd party apps compared to the declaration of so many users back then?
Digital personal verification is just going to become a fact of life in the future for everyone born after about 2012. They will use online ID cards, biometrics, location metadata that is constantly uploaded by our devices, maybe even implanted RFID encrypted chips for account verification. Passwords are becoming outdated and outmoded for security as we speak here. 2FA is the minimum security for online today but that may soon become outmoded as well.
That’s because Netfilx is basically a media powerhouse & kind of a monopoly.
& your average person doesn’t know how to effectively pirate
LOL. No “we” didn’t. A few idiots did.
These large tech companies have e focus groups and can do extensive research on how their markets will react to these changes.
Any analysis on social media just doesn’t have access to that data.
I literally haven’t had a Netflix sub since that year and I sometimes miss the convenience of it even. Haven’t been very frequent on reddit in 2 years. Neither company is going to miss me though.
Soon it’ll just be piracy and the fediverse for me, and maybe I’ll be able to show my daughter how to download movies and shows, but I’m sure within within her lifetime, piracy will just become so unpopular that all the good sources of content die out. I do hope the fediverse will stay around though. It has a similar problem to piracy: It’s not that it’s hard, it’s more that the people making everything work get tired and it’s hard to convert people.

For some reason I immediately thought of this.

no don’t do it

“I don’t hate the English. They’re just wankers. But we … we were colonized by wankers!”
u/spez was the lead moderator of r/jailbait, and when he was caught, he got rid of mod transparency. Ghilisaine Maxwell was likely a l lead moderator of news Reddits as well (u/MaxwellHill). Reddit has always been compromised.
The speed they banned r/pizzagate was illuminating.
Sending a dick pick. Now it’s whatever is in front of these to make a though decision.
A very hard decision indeed.
POV: You’re the intern tasked with reviewing the selfies.
thats not what pov means, upload a selfie as punishment
POV = point of view. The intern’s point of view. They’re looking at the selfies submitted by gooners. The picture is a gooner. Idk what you’re talking about.
That could very well be the POV of the intern having to approve career gooners
It’ll almost certainly be an AI model doing it.
That brings up an interesting thought. What if people uploaded AI generated selfies?
So long as its generated by the same (or a better model) it shouldn’t be able to tell.
Yeah, this is showing up at roughly the same time we can get (almost) free 5 second video generation from some services, and fast still picture generation on consumer grade hardware. It’s the perfect combination of useless, stupid, and obsolete, all in one very pricey and very dangerous precedent-filled package.
