    Censorship creeps onwards 🤐

        "No matter your age, the [UK] Online Safety Act will restrict the content available to you online.”

        “Adults are being forced to hand over information to unregulated age verification providers in order to get the uncensored version of social media apps such as X, Reddit and Bluesky.”
