[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 77 points 1 month ago (9 children) Reddit is doing age verification now?? lmao permalink fedilink source hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 70 points 1 month ago They're doing the double whammy. Mandatory sign-in (even on old.reddit) and any account they can't estimate as belonging to an adult through their use of invasive spy metrics and AI will be forced to do age verification. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Pamasich@kbin.earth 7 points 1 month ago (5 children) I mean, they're required by the law in certain countries. With their size, there's no way around that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children) Spez allowed a subreddit for child pedofiles to defend their actions and advocate for no age limits for statutory rape or porn. It didnt get removed until the fat people hate banning created outrage. Pretty sure the laws about not fucking children didnt dictate how he ran his platform and theyve been around a tad bit longer than age verification laws. Just sayin, dont confuse investor appeasement with choosing to follow the law. Plus i wouldnt put it past them if i found out they lobbied to have these laws past so they font have to track every click and person underneath their front end. This just made it their front door. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago (1 child) child pedofiles Isn't that... just called being normal?
