Age verification bypass tool soon to be made illegal:
Yeah, because it isn’t about that. They don’t give a fuck about kids seeing porn. Even when there are age checks, there will be plenty of free porn.
It’s all about being able to connect an online post with the author.
As someone who spent my formative days figuring out how to bypass early digital locks my school was putting in place to “protect us” … The system loses this game. Every time. You are taking kids with nothing but time, no apparent drawbacks, and everything to gain… And placing them against “good enough” implemented by people who could give two shits about it.
This will continue to lose until they twist the knobs too tight and hit false positive central… And oops now the populace hates it. Control for thee is fine until its for me.
Tale as old as technology itself.
Mine was simple, but great. IE was hidden/removed in our typing class, maybe 5th grade. I guessed you could type a www.domain.tld in Word and when you pressed space, got a clickable URL that was still tied to IE. I knew about the URL, but learned it would still open with IE hidden. 🤣🤣
Literally every type of age verification ever put into place has been circumvented by children. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
I guess its a good thing that the point if this is just to tie a real human to their online presence and protecting kids never actually mattered.
You know, for a given value of “good” being “actually very very bad”.
Almost like it wasn’t about them in the first place.
When I was little, my mom used to send me to the store with a note that said to sell me cigarettes, and that they were for her. When I started smoking, I used to reuse the notes to get my own smokes. I got my first fake ID at 13 so I could buy beer.
When I was 13 I could just buy beer, the trick was to make it look like you are helping your parents with groceries. So also pickup stuff like a carton of eggs, potatoes and milk. I never had any issue, but it was a different time and in Europe

How about instead of trying every complicated stupid way to regulate users and especially children … you regulate and control companies and corporations instead.
I can’t wait to email this to my MP
Canada Bill S209 needs to die. It’s bad legislation.
Fuck, didn’t realize this cancer had reached Canada
I’m in my mid thirties and I’d still buy a mask or something to trick these systems if and when this becomes a thing in my country.
They could’ve just bloody made social media safe for everyone, instead of making us jump through all these hoops.
Of course with porn it’s a bit more complicated, being exposed to it at too young of an age has proven negative effects.
