Wanker loicense
Oh god I'm so nervous for my wanking practical test. I only just passed the wanking theory!
When I was 6, I earned my pen licence at school.
Now as an adult, who do I need to prove my proficiency to in order to receive my wanking licence?
The wank auditor will see you now.

You must show your id to access NSFW subreddits!
"oh no!"
changes www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com on the adress bar
"anyways"
Tho i remember when they removed compact reddit. But i think if they remove old.reddit.com, people will really start to leave, so they'll try to get rid of it quietly.
I do wonder how long they'll let old.reddit.com stay. I assume they don't want it but are worried about the backlash
Maybe. They could just let it rot. Let it break over time. Thus pushing people onto the new site.
Kids everywhere making deepfakes.

balkanization of all types always seems to be the answer to these sorts of dystopian laws and i hope that it happens despite evidence contrary.

I seem to remember only <7 instances allowing porn posts when I joined up. As a practical matter, I don't remember the last time I saw porn posted from any instance besides lemmynsfw.com
TL;DR: Porn on Lemmy is as centralized and easilly squashed by regulation as anywhere else.

If this law says in place and is actually enforced all fediverse instances will need to start verifying age for UK users too.

Several years ago, I tried making an Instagram account. It was locked immediately (on first log in). They good me to upload a selfie where I was also holding up my driver's license.
This is still the case
