I thought it was a very well written and engaging piece. Given that this ludicrous legislation was, undoubtedly, pushed for by the Home Office and shadowy security apparatus, it seems plain to me that those same groups will have access to all the data the age verification companies hold - they will know the identity of every user accessing these websites, and there is absolutely zero chance it won't be abused. There is also zero chance it won't be used as a springboard to escalate the scope. This is yet more mass-surveillance via the handy back door of "think of the children". One of the main reasons I voted against Brexit was exactly because of shit like this - put simply, I trust the EU more than my own government. Honestly, I found the phrenology comparisons rather apt.
