I would not under any circumstances give my drivers license to a for profit app. I don’t even like to give my email.

    Unfortunately this is the better of the two main parties. This isn't republicans winning because dems didn't vote. Labour won, and this still went through. The UK government as a whole has been on an anti porn brigade for decades. I can't wait for the day labour and the Tories just die off.

    Technically the act passed in 2023 under the Sunak government.

    That said; I can't seem to find a vote breakdown and I would not be at all surprised if labour also backed it.

    I'm hoping enough public dissatisfaction leads to labour repealing it but I won't hold my breath.
