Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima (www.pcgamer.com)

The problem, as always, is that parents don't want to put the work into educating their children, they want the government to wave a magic wand and make the problem go away. And that's what gets you half assed solutions like this.

    The OSA is nothing to do with kids or parenting and everything to do with further developing surveillance of the UK and controlling what we can access.

    I guarantee you, at some point after this will come prohibiting content deemed terrorism such as mentions of the word 'palestine' and 'action' in the same paragraph for example.

    Sooner or later we'll have our own pseudo or real great firewall. I expect them to come after VPN use at some point too.
