   >I haven't heard of this. Is Reddit enforcing ID verification

   just double checked, thyre enforcing you to validate a date of birth with an external camera based system

   >Generative AI is administering the fatal injection. This experiment has nearly reached its conclusion.

   i was hoping to avoid draw a defitionist conclusion for this. it seems like thats whats the world is doing. theres literally no pushback to this IRL, most of the public seem to be in favor of these IDs system

   Is there anything we can actually do to combat this? Im short of ideas, tho the 33% rule can be potentially worked around by generating loads of fake content similar to a previous poster who generates fake content for scrapers to eat Im in the UK and they recently passed a similar law banning any explicit _imagery_, which I already thought was bad but the land of freedom beats us out again, the literally surveillance state, at least that's that's enforced top down by ofcom instead of an army of injury lawyers so it works at ofcom's speed

   I dont understand the needed distinction between "chromium" and "non-chromium" browsers, thyre just web engines and ultimately technical details. Although chromium having significantly more compatibility (or chrome features that websites use) the average consumer will be using websites that keep strict accordance with webstandards to support safari. For technical users its another story but for the average user the web engine of your browser doesnt matter, just the shell around it, so I find it quite silly the notion we need X browser and also an X chromium browser

    The accuracy of this tool does not matter. This is exclusively designed for box ticking "reports" that nobody reads and a produced for the sake of itself.
