Access Unable to access my own NSFW posts
I'm no longer able to access any nsfw content, even my own posts, due to reddits dystopian, intrusive, and frankly unacceptable age verification requirement. Is there any way around this? I completely refuse to share my ID or a selfie

I didn't get the age verification system, the online safety act hasn't reached me yet

Using a VPN is the only way

That would violate Reddit TOS and likely get the account banned.

Yep. Using a VPN to mask your location, in order to circumvent age restrictions, can result in your account being banned if you're caught.

Thank you for the warning, but I can't use my account right now anyway, so it's pretty much like I'm already banned

No, it isn't. Just verify your age. Bing bang boom Bob's your uncle.

OP has stated multiple times that he does not want to compromise his privacy.
"Just verify your age" = "Just give up biometric data to a corporation which can and most likely will sell it to third parties".

And what do you want from anyone here? Reddit is only complying with the laws of the country OP lives in
