We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
🇬🇧📱 The UK's Online Safety Act meant to hide pornography, suicide forums and other "harmful" content from children and teenagers broke X/Twitter.
Users in the EU report seeing various posts on X/Twitter hidden with the message: "Due to local laws, we are temporarily restricting access to this content until X estimates your age".
A law meant to apply only in the UK has effectively been extended to cover the European Union as well even though Brexit ended in 2020.
To add insult to injury, X/Twitter users who want to verify their age must first pay for Premium to unlock the ID verification tool, meaning that, not only do they need to give their names and addresses to big tech but also, their credit card information.
Just as the Online Safety Act was enforced, the European Union is pressing social media companies to enforce similar policies through the Digital Services Act, as soon as possible, meaning 2026-2027 at the latest.
In May 2025 the U.S. Congress reintroduced The Kids Online Safety Act with bipartisan support and from big tech. This is especially ironic coming from the same Congress which voted against the release of the Epstein files where teenage girls were prostituted to wealthy men as blackmail material.
Since this introduction of the Only Safety Act, VPNs have gotten extremely popular in the UK.
Outside of X/Twitter, British users report that sexual assault/suicide support forums on Reddit and other sites have been blocked in the UK as they are considered +18
Online censorship has never been about protecting people from harmful content, it always was about power and control of what people read.
If governments, British, EU or American, actually cared about the safety of younger generations they would simply ban the creation and distribution of pornography and digital prostitution websites like OnlyFans.

British man attacked for entering a ‘no-go zone’ in London.
A horde of Islamists surrounded him and questioned why he was in ‘their’ neighborhood.
They threatened him and began chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they kicked him out.
A 65-year-old couple retiring in 2025 with average earnings will receive an estimated $1.34 million in lifetime benefits, while contributing only $720,000 in today’s dollars.
That shortfall—more than $600,000 per couple—is being made up by younger workers.
“Most of the growth in spending has gone to retirement and healthcare, while programs that promote upward mobility... have been left behind”
