At first I thought it was only Java edition but now it seems that all platforms will have it. We have to upload things like Digital ID or other methods to Yoti, a third party company, to verify our age if we want to use social features such as the chat. This means if we don't even in single player the chat will be removed. Then we can't even use coords or commands in Java single player. As of now it is unclear how and when exactly they will add this but they said on their website it is next month sometime. Not sure if it will be online only and if it will be a certain update or all updates. I doubt mods will be able to get around this. Mojang will probably tell them to be removed.

Ah yes, let's add age censorship for social feature such as chat on a game targeted towards children /s

First chat censorship and now this, fuck Mojang honestly

[–] EarMaster@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure Mojang wouldn't do this if not forced by law to do so. So it you want to "fuck" someone do it on the UK government…

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So disobey the law. If everyone disobeys it en masse and people refuse to enforce it it won't have any power. But yes, the UK government is also pretty bad lately

[–] EarMaster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Why would the UK "refuse to enforce it"?

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, age verification for chat in a game targeted to children makes sense, but in the other direction...

[–] cactusupyourbutt@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

scuse me, Im a 30 yo guy playing with similar old friends, Id like to use chat as well

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I don't mean 30yo's can't use chat, you just can't use chat to talk to 14yo's. There would be a virtual dystopian age wall that separates the olds from the youngs. Like Logans Run, once you turn 18 you get tossed in with the olds. :D (in case it's not clear, very much tongue in cheek, I don't want this).

But let's be real, none of these laws are gonna stop pedos grooming kids, or keep kids safe, it's all just a giant waste of time. I'm sure you and your mates will either verify, or just use a different platform for chat that doesn't require verification.
