So in theory today is the day when all the site have to try and get their UK users to verify their age. Which is mostly done by verifying their ID.
I expect the kids will have little trouble figuring out a way around this.
The boomers will have more trouble though. Expecting calls from my folks asking what's going on and if they really have to scan their face and indeed how to do that and probably giving up and just not using the thing.
I'll just be not using the things which demand it in general.
About the only upside in all this is it might get the boomers off of Facebook I guess.

Fuck every country supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. And yes, that includes the UK.
Look at the state of these genocidal fascists… arresting a British-Palestinian NHS doctor for speaking out against Israel’s genocide.

UK's largest lake 'dying' as algae blooms worsen
For the third year running toxic blue-green algae blooms that look like pea soup and smell like rotten eggs have covered much of Lough Neagh, the largest lake in the UK and Ireland.

The UK is (still) going backwards.
"Since 2019, the number of privately educated elites has barely changed and in some fields is growing, the report found. The social mobility charity said it was a “disgrace” that most of the country’s top jobs were still dominated by privileged people"
