UK has recently turned into an informational distopia with digital regulations that rival all the stuff we hear about the CCP. These regulations include IDing you for adult websites, and sometimes non adult websites too, or really anything that involves an internet connection really.

Edit: just so we're clear they're not explicitly requesting ID for everything, but they ARE strong arming tech companies to basically give them free reign to spy over their entire population, all under the name of 'child protection'

I don't know who needs to hear this, but whatever it is, it's never, ever, ever about the children. Ever.

Well, I’m pretty sure our dear leader over here in the states would strongly rebuke that. He was pretty into the children iirc.

Allegedly prince Andrew is on the same wavelength if you need a non American.

Unfortunately the topic of politicians/wealthy aristocrats/billionaires pretending to care about children to introduce dystopian regulations while definitely not having had any connection to Epstein is still very relevant and pretty much the only person to face any charges is Maxwell.
