A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Because if they don't do something like this they're going to lose a massive amount of their user base. If something like this doesn't happen then it's id verification, and it's pretty clear republicans want that nationwide, and UK proves that other countries also want it. This would provide a format to say "I'm over 18 let me in" without needing to provide an id, and so most of their users could still enjoy privately. Decent compromise imo
