UK residents and anyone else who needs ID for verification should look at this website https://use-their-id.com/ . I strongly suggest not doing it because you can create parody drivers licenses featuring your favorite UK politicians.

You know you can get Lemmy on the PC, right? You don't actually need your cellphone license to view memes. Now I've just got to hand over my picture ID and insert this rectal scanner.....

and......

now I can post this comment :)

Europe and UK people have been so busy pointing and laughing at the US that they don't see their own governments quietly following suit.

And do nothing about it because why would you?

And soon they won't be doing anything against their government ever again because organizing will have been made impossible

Great going UK! But at least the kids are safe now, right? Right? Remember those kids whom this was all about? How are they doing now? Child porn now no longer exists in the UK, right? Well if anything goes wrong there I'm sure that the kids can confide about their abuse with priests for help, I'm sure priests would love helping them out with that.

Americans when they realize that GAFAMs are foaming at the mouth at implementing the exact same thing in the US A without even being mandated to do so....

Americans:

Ideally companies would just block the UK, like they did to the EU to avoid GDPR regulations.

That would put other nations (and the EU) off doing this nonsense themselves.

But it seems like the corporations have been brought to heel. Just when their usual attitudes would have come in handy.

I think you mean their listener's license. Wow, that takes me back.

Also Brits: America, for some baffling reason

The UK makes The US look like adults

It's very ironic, that this is being posted by a so-called conservative here.

You sleep in the bed you make yourself. Don't complain when you push "liberals" so far to the right with constant moral panic about "communism" they implement the very thing your side always wanted.

We don’t have cellphones. We just have cells.
