Time to dump reddit
Edit: this post is regarding NSFW content now being blocked on my reddit account and receiving the age verification prompt when trying to access said content. I am being asked to upload either a live selfie or photos of my ID card.
Got hit with this just a few moments ago when visiting one of the subreddits that covers the Ukraine war, which I have been following closely since 2014. Located in EU. The funny part is I don’t even use this app for porn. I use actual porn sites for porn. Oh and I can’t even see my own profile lol
On the bright side reddit is my only social media account. Had MySpace back in the Stone Age but have never had instagram, tiktok, facebook, or anything else. So I guess I’ll be turning to only checking trusted news sources and living a social media free life. I grew up without it after all so I think I’ll live. I’ve also got a bookshelf full of books just waiting to be cracked open.
Posting this to spread awareness that this is happening and will continue happening. I will delete all accounts and stop using any service that does this permanently. You should all do the same.
I’m aware that this can most likely be bypassed but I do not care enough to do so and am unwilling to do so. Do not ever under any circumstances give these companies any of your information. They need us. We do not need them.
