OKAY SO WHAT THE FUCK
FOR THOSE WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN THE UK, THE GOVERNMENT JUST MADE A NEW LAW WHERE YOU HAVE TO VERIFY YOUR AGE TO USE ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE INNAPROPRIATE CONTENT ON IT. THAT INCLUDES SPACEHEY, WHO DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY TO AGE VERIFY RIGHT NOW (THIS IS NOT A DIG AT SPACEHEY I'M PISSED AT THE GOVERNMENT). But anyway yeah if I disappear it's because they've patched the current work around I'm using in order to access this. I totally understand them age restricting some sites like "naughty" sites, but NOT sites like this. I've spoken to a lot of people about this and everyone I know (except my parents) both irl and online agrees that these new laws feel more like government control than "protecting children from p*rn and s*icide content online" which is what it claims to be. Also, it's just pushing people to even worse sites that are more hidden to see what they want to see. There was even a petition (which I signed) to appeal it- it got 4x the amount of needed signatures (almost 500, 000) but as of right now they're just saying they have "no intentions to appeal it" and ignoring it. That is not democracy. That's control.
Anyway yeah hi I'm back. And I'm pissed.
Edit: Here's a useful vid kinda explaining what's going on in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnPrK1fIzP4

OMG THIS IS CRAZY!! Thank you for letting us all know I saw something about Penguinz0 in my subscription box but hadn't yet watched it. I'm in North America so I wasn't aware of the new policy.
Hope it all works out!
You should totally watch it- it really sucks and I want to spread awareness about it. If it's happening in the UK, it could happen to other countries too, and I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
