Thank god this Act is saving children from being able to watch pornography tho *presses one button in Proton VPN and then googles extreme porn* oh no wait it hasn't, its complete garbage and a waste of time.

The people that passed this law must know that kids know what a VPN is right? Fuck all this, I'm moving somewhere else once I sell my flat next year.

Where's nice to live and without shite like this?

It's the new uk law, you need to use your ID which then goes through ai analysis. It's a cyber security nightmare tho, some things you will be able to bypass with vpn's, kids are getting around a lot of them using fortnight, ai generated images or death stranding (some systems have you take 2 photos, one with your mouth closed on open)…this is resulting in more requiring your passport or actual id held up near your face etc.

It's a completely fractured non centralised system, with many many companies accross diverse industries being forced to conform, either with their own solutions or via a myriad of third party providers, any of which are vulnerable to hacking, or mistakes (such as the tea app debacle, tho they weren't forced into compliance by the uk gov, they just did it to verify users were women…still it ended up with countless peoples ID's and addresses being leaked). Whole thing will be a treasure trove for hackers, cyber criminals, blackmailers and identity thieves. It doesn't even protect the people it was supposedly intended to protect. It has however been used immediately for political censorship.

It's a wildly stupid, terribly thought out law.

MP's are aware how dangerous it is, hence so many now expensing VPNs to their taxpayer…meanwhile other MPs are discussing banning VPN's.

There's also a certain irony in that the government is pushing to all 16yr olds to vote, whilst also saying they aren't grown up enough to engage with a myriad of political topics which are now banned/censored unless you can prove your over 18🤣

It's one big mess. It has quite a lot of public support at the moment because it's sold as "won't somebody think of the children". That'll likely change the moment there's a massive data breach. Both Farage's reform and libdems have come out against it, reform will repeal it. They were already polling higher than any other party, so all this is doing is ensuring a win for right wing populists either in 3 years, or less of the government collapses (which given recent British political tenures is highly likely).

Seems awful way to live there nowadays... In my place security is not problem, but again, this situation will not stay, maybe someday it will be better, or worst : /
 
Peeps on Reddit are saying this has been exaggerated, and it's because the user is attempting to start Geforce Now, which would, technically, be subject to the age verification rules.

 
We need to modernise GAF.

We are the top hardcore gaming forum in the WORD, yet we don't have enough younger members here to easily verify if this is true or not by just checking their NVIDIA PC app. Embarrassing.

We need to do something as a community to change this.

Yep, nvidia app doesn't require log in. They probably predicted this shit and that's why removed it, hahaha.

Nah they did it because it was a common complaint, and AMD had (at the time) better driver software that didn't require log-in.
 
Lmao, if this law was a thing when I was a teen there is no way it would stop me from watching porn. One way or another I would find a way.

It's ok, next we can make VPN usage a criminal offense and save the children once and for all!

I've thought of Poland but its too right leaning for my liking, that could do the other way entirely and be really bad in a different way...

Asian seems like the best place imo, I would be welcomed in Japan with my anime haircut but its super hard to move there I heard and would have to learn Japanese.

Korea and China are falling apart birth rate wise and if i got caught with a doobie there they'd cut my legs off so that's not an optioI.

Japan is also super tough on drugs isn't it so thats another reason to not go there, I'm not some drug addict but I want to live in a place where I can get high from time to time and not worry I'll be put in jail forever, thats a good thing about this country of ours, you have to be a really moron/dickhead to get caught with drugs and charged.
 
Fuck ursula von der leyen. And Stephen Parkinson, Baron Parkinson of Whitley Bay, Michelle Donelan

And the orange

These changes have been relatively sudden and sweeping. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some growing pains as software engineers get the platforms compliant.
 
Guys don't worry, just a couple more years than you will own nothing and be happy :D
You probably won't even be able to launch a game if your social credit score is too low :alien:

Yeah and I don't think you can even download that anymore from nVidia.
