   Unsurprisingly, the regulations require that providers take adequate steps to verify identities. In the UK, that usually means being certified by https://accscheme.com/registry/ or similar. Just saying "I asked s

   It isn't a leak if you do it intentionally. There are lots of age-verification providers in the UK / EU. The industry had plenty of notice this was coming and reacted accordingly.

   I don't know if you've been to a bar recently. Lots of them stick IDs in a scanner. I handed over my passport to a hotel recently, they took it away and photocopied it. I'd rather trust an organisation which stakes its busine

   Absolutely. But I assume they want to know which site has made the request so they can bill them properly.

   I don't think that's quite accurate. Most age verification services use either government providers or 3rd party providers. I show my passport (or whatever) to the third-party. They relay to the site "this user is / isn&

   "Hey buddy! You're right. And so mature for your age!" The reason OSA puts DMs in scope is because they are out of view of the public. If you start creeping on someone where it is viewable, people will call you out. If you do

   Looking through my recent comments, the majority are from people filling in the box on my posts. So, yes, I would lose a lot if I switched them off. You'll also notice that I use WebMentions to import those 3rd party discussions (or li

    For everyone saying "just have the comments on social networking sites" - that fragments the conversation, makes people sign up to a service if they want to comment, and exposes them to ads on 3rd party sites. You also get no cont

    Literally none of what you have said is true. Stop reading the Daily Mail / watching Fox News and go do some research. It isn't my job to give you a point by point rebuttal of all the racist talking points you've regurgitated

    No. I am not advocating violence against him. I am not trying to get him thrown out of his home. The thing is, DHH can really easily stop being racist. Then people won't complain when he's invited to speak. But the people he is co

    It's almost like crime isn't that strongly correlated with the ethnic mix of a place! I'm sorry reality doesn't support your racism. Of course, if you don't believe the police data, that page suggests you look at ho

    London has a lower knife crime rate than the West Midlands. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn04... Hope that helps!

    Knife crime is down 19% in London this year https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62nqvzzq79o And still fewer stabbings per-capita than NYC.

    I've literally asked a taxi driver to let me out early because he started a racist rant. With a hairdresser, I'd leave a bad review (never argue with someone holding scissors). The thing is, now that you do know someone's v

    Have you read his blog post about London? The one where he praises the racist convicted criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon? The one where he described the violent march as being full of "normal, peaceful Brits"? The one where he stir

    Sure, OK. But why is "teenage girl" being used as a pejorative? Is there something wrong with writing like a girl?

    How do you think most people use tools? Go sit on public transport and look at how people use their devices. They don't fiddle with settings or dive deep into configuration menus. I literally just opened the tools and used what they ga
