May it wither and die. I would post my ID on the bathroom wall at Heathrow before I would submit it to what remains of Twitter.

This comment is pure poetry. I actually want to have it on my wall, with a beautiful frame.

And nothing of value was lost. In fact, it might shield more European users from FUD, misinformation and propaganda.

And nothing of value was lost.

Sure, if privacy is worth nothing to you but I wouldn't speak for the rest of the UK and EU.

He means losing the platform because of -> FUD, misinformation and propaganda.

[-] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 0 points 1 week ago

FUD has nothing to do with what this is about.

[-] Kyouki@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Sure, just echoing his wording to why "nothing of value" was lost as the person sees the platform as such.

What FUD? All I want twitter to be is a source of porn. And now it's not even useful for that anymore.

I still use Reddit for porn but that’s it. Tumblr had the best porn though.

My feed right now.

Y'all just laughing at Twitter when this isn't just a Twitter thing.

It's ok when it happens to them! /s

Is there other platforms that are out there estimating our ages?

I know the whole age gate thing - being in the UK, believe me, I know. I've just never had a service go "we can't show you content. No, don't tell us your age, we'll work it out from the data we've collected from you".

That's a whole new one for me, I must admit.

They should have blocked twitter because it is a shithole propaganda network.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 week ago

That's an improvement.

[-] vollkorntomate@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago

Does the EU already have legislation demanding the age verification? I’ve so far only heard about the UK‘s Online Safety Act being effective since last week, but not about anything in the EU (yet).

the eu made twitter better by hiding all the content

You're still using Twitter?

Estimates? That seems even more problematic.
