Eventually you end up like Russia, where all commercial VPN servers have been blocked for years but everyone either knows someone who self-hosts a VPN, or uses some sketchy adware

Sam, yeah but how could that be enforced against a foreign entity? (maybe it's a stupid question, idk)

Sam, so what happens if a porn site doesn't have any presence (e.g. a legal entity) in the UK, but doesn't ask for IDs either?

I don't understand why all centralized services suddenly insist on actually verifying their users' age for real. What was wrong with asking for a birth date or even just presenting a "yes I'm 18 or older" button? NSFW websites somehow still do just fine with that, but Discord, which is much less "risky" in comparison, somehow needs real verification?

Gosh I miss the old internet.

Oh and AM/PM time. In some things that are unusably poorly translated to Russian, I have to set my language to en_GB just to get 24-hour time format.

The fun part is that Americans even use 24-hour time but only in the military apparently.
