We need to talk!

With the UK (my home country) Being run by a bunch of tyrannical cuntbags. And with the UK's Online Safety Act they are implementing over here which
has so far been blocking sites that show the adult NSFW stuff. And even places like Discord for example want to make users in the UK show their government ID or do a face scan to an AI on their phones for age verification purposes.


All this stupid and ill thought out policy which is government overreach will do is put UK users at risk of things like identity theft and data breaches where people's info could get stolen on such a large scale.


And I do believe it should be the job of parents to monitor what their own minors do online. It's shouldn't be the government's job nor should it be the job of these sites to babysit people's kids whilst their karen suburban moms go out drinking.

I think this online safety act is a crock of shit and will not keep minors safe. Let's be real. Those who want to seek NSFW content will find a way regardless. But we as artists and creators shouldn't be punished for it.

And this bill is a violation of our civil liberties. I swear the UK is becoming more like China by the day.

Whilst I do plan to keep drawing and uploading art as normal. I do worry the government might block furry sites like this and others next. Even thought I hope not. But I will keep an eye out.

For those of you in the UK. there is a petition you can sign that's about repealing the online safety act and I strongly encourage those of you in the UK to write to your local MP's expressing your opposition to this policy.

Anyway. I am considering a VPN or other means incase these sites get affected. But let's hope. Anyway. I just wanted to give you all a heads up incase anything happens.


And I hope you are all doing well.  And let's hope the sites we like to share our works aren't affected by this insanity.

Yeah, VPNs became huge in Russia when they tried blocking sites. If people want content, they will find a way.

Hope you can find a VPN you like!

Thanks.  I am looking at that option and seeing which would work for me.  Cause no way in hell I'm showing my ID nor doing Biometric facial scans to foreign companies that are shady as hell.

You should be able to see the new requirement here. (Your account is just below the five year cutoff, but as you already enabled them...)

Whether this is enough, we'll see.
