Age verification? What's your point.. voting for anyone else enables reform to get in which leads to America.
My point is that this isn't about kids.
I believe it is. The government capabilities of spying on its citizens doesn't require it to have age verification lol... In any case, UK people can't be spied on.
Oh interesting! Why do you think that?
What the heck is your point exactly? We shouldn't have mass surveillance? But we already do... Have you seen how many cameras there are? Do you know DWP can access your internet history if they suspect benefit fraud? No warrant required.. And that's one of dozens of government departments that can just whip up your internet history..
This isn't some grand attempt at putting the final bit of the puzzle together.. there are legitimately multiple generations of children who can't read, accessing brain dead content that are turning into potatoes and becoming radicalised... Shall we just stop all attempts at preventing that because you're worried about your privacy?
K, but I was actually asking why you think UK citizens can't be spied on.
