A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Weird idea: what if the government set up a system where the website will be blocked unless you verify your age with gov.uk? And anyone trying to get to it will have to pass by gov.uk tokens first. Although https might make that difficult.
Of course, I fully disagree with the OSA. But it's... An alternative.
But why do that when they can just shift the burden onto the other party (the website), and demand money from them too?
