Since the UK and Australia are now nanny states, Spacehey has pulled their servers from the UK and will soon do the same for Australia. I wrote down a quick guide to bypassing these restrictions here. Please push/ interact with this page so that our British friends can find this page and come back to us.

Have two kudos! Commenting to boost, I don't live in the UK, but this is really important to spread

I am *not* ready for the ban. it's happening on all social media platforms, and i'm sure the suicide rates will go up as most of the people who struggle with mental health where I am have found their own communities online and are less likely to do harm to themselves or others.
it's stupid to be honest because they're just making everyone miserable.

It really isn't looking good for us here in the US. I won't be surprised if they try to implement a similar law before the end of 2025.

Double kudos to you! This feels like a new type of colonization, and I hate it. This is the dystopian future nobody wanted. And this is going to make stealing people's info so much more easier, as if it wasn't easy already! There should be laws banning the selling of our data, not this.

There should be a disclaimer here that you can probably get in legal trouble for this, especially in the UK. And especially if you're using it to post things online that would also get you in legal trouble. They just love their censorship.
i live in buttfuck nowhere running every app on separate machines in tor behind a proxy. i'll probably be fine. plus the british have bigger fish to fry right now lol they're boutta have a historical data leak

I meant more for the other people reading the post -- there's tons of kids on here who probably have no clue what they're doing and wouldn't be as secure about it as you are.

CENSORSHIP RAAAHHHH (´;︵;`)

There is also Tor as an alternative to VPNs. It's slow as hell but it's free. As for other sites that implement age verification: generate a fake ID using any bot capable of doing so. What are they going to do, throw you in jail for inpersonating a fictional person?
ironically enough, yes. there most likely will be legal repercussions for bypassing this ban.

Facig legal repercussions for accessing content your government doesn't want you to see... that kinda sounds like communism. Now will have to see what the legal repercussions will be. Hopefully not what we had before 1989 here in Romania (torture in a basement of the secret service).

lol don't worry, capitalists execute dissidents too. they can just pay people off to not talk about it.

It’s not just a socialist thing. The far right did that too (meant to reply to the other person but idk how to, rip)

Making the free thinkers disappear is a thing happening in every form of autocracy. These days the problem seems to be that every politician tries to gain as much power and wealth as possible while making life worse for the people that elected them. The funny thing is that it's pointless, most of these fossils will kick the bucket in the next 15 years. The only question is why? They can't rule the world or spend the accumulated money while sitting in a coffin. In the end it doesn't benefit anybody.

probably the classic "but the name will live on" card. our local gov has built 18 stadiums in the capital (for 2M something people - and you cannot even go to the stadium, unless you're someone special), while the hospitals are literally collapsing. if I showed you photos, you'd think it's some urbex location. we have no mental healthcare. in addition, they keep destroying stuff that has historical importance and make the "buds" build something cheap and ugly af in their place, clearly money laundering is happening in the process. their kids are already rich, living abroad. their close friends and colleagues are rich already.
so this has to be the only explanation. all of these leave nothing but despair behind. sometimes loans.

im so confused whats happening???
What are the new UK online safety rules and how will age checks on adult content be enforced?
UK introduced a bill that forces people into verifying their age/ identity to access NSFW content. it extends to all social media. spacehey doesn't have the resources to enforce it to it pulled server support from the UK.
