My brain is registering this scene as a period classic... discussing the modern changes, aka age regulations and the viewing of porn (impacting all important male rights) while taking a casual stroll around the lake with top hats... I could see that being a very civil debate somehow without getting too OOT.

Jokes aside... They'd have to find a link somewhere on the "good internet" in most cases to get to anything problematic. I'd be more weary of hanging around random Discords... there's a reason admin err on the side of caution and will nuke entire servers (including permanuking accounts using them) rather than try to figure out who "the good ones" actually are.

You can use an anonymous browser though if you need to self-report your recent stint in Antifa to the police and to the CIA. I personally advocate this use case. Please use this function judiciously to report your terrorismings :love:

I personally think that we have to watch out for what the Government targets next.

Will it be violent Entertainment Media? Who knows.

Either way, it doesn't look good on Starmer.

Of course this idea was started by the Tories.:rolleyes:

Why do I ever try to cut them some slack?:joker:

Kids as young as 8 have been found to be sending naked pictures of themselves
The internet and access to it , adults allowing kids access and smart phones
Clothes being made for kids in adult form parents allowing kids to wear These clothes
Parents not actually being parents and guiding kids , kids don’t look like kids anymore by this I’m developing faster
These are all factors in my opinion

Virtual private network (VPN) apps have become the most downloaded on Apple's App Store in the UK after sites such as PornHub, Reddit and X began requiring age verification of users on Friday.

VPNs can disguise your location online - allowing you to use the internet as though you are in another country.

It means that people are likely using them to bypass requirements of the Online Safety Act, which mandated platforms with certain adult content to start checking the age of users.

As of Monday morning, half of the top ten free apps in Apple's app download charts in the UK appeared to be for VPN services.

And one app maker told the BBC it had seen an 1,800% spike in downloads.
