Please do share that information.
- cocoto 9mo agoFree speech violations in UK and the country pushing for more ID checks is a simple example.
- barbazoo 9mo agoI'm not seeing how it's an example showing that they're doing it "precisely so that they can control discourse". You could still argue that ID checks are done to partition content by underage/adult which for many is a reasonable thing to do absent any better solutions.
