    And nothing of value was lost. In fact, it might shield more European users from FUD, misinformation and propaganda.

      Sure, if privacy is worth nothing to you but I wouldn’t speak for the rest of the UK and EU.

    May it wither and die. I would post my ID on the bathroom wall at Heathrow before I would submit it to what remains of Twitter.

    Does the EU already have legislation demanding the age verification? I’ve so far only heard about the UK‘s Online Safety Act being effective since last week, but not about anything in the EU (yet).

        At least the EU is somewhat privacy friendly here (excluding the Google tie in) compared to whatever data sharing and privacy mess the UK has obligated people to do with sharing ID pictures or selfies.

        Proving you are 18+ through zero knowledge proof (i.e. other party gets no more information than being 18+) where the proof is generated on your own device locally based on a government signed date of birth (government only issues an ID, doesn’t see what you do exactly) is probably the least privacy intrusive way to do this, barring not checking anything at all.

    They should have blocked twitter because it is a shithole propaganda network.

      Yeah but still should be against it. Maybe this will happen in more countries.
