“Reddit has stressed that this system is only to verify users' age, and it has no interest in your identity. Lee further stated that Persona won't know what subreddits you visit, and has promised it won't keep users' uploaded images more than seven days.”
Press X to doubt.

Under the new UK law, lemmynsfw would also need to have some kind of age verification for UK users.
