The Online Safety Act is both completely ineffective in its goals, and is also going to be a nightmarish data leak time bomb.

As of today, if you're in the UK, you can't even access Reddit/beer without submitting your birthday and then ID.

Purely by coincidence at this point, I decided to activate my VPN, Mullvad VPN (nprofile…kgx7).

Strangely, I was then able to access Reddit/beer with no issues at all

I wonder if others will have the same experience on these kinds of sites?
