I was preparing my verbal pitchforks, but it seems they have chosen a middle ground. they will only require verification for adult content, and only in the EU and UK.
which means that if you don’t need adult content or you can use a VPN, then it seems it won’t affect you. so they are probably doing the bare minimum required by law
Let’s hope that new EU age verification system is actually good and privacy friendly.
Privacy friendly my ass. If they ask for my ID, it’s not private.
Let’s also hope for unicorns
Yes because giving up isn’t an option
-
Add censorship for mods containing adult (sexual) content.
-
Slowly move the bar so that more content falls under definition of “adult” (themes of violence, LGBTQ+ themes).
-
Continue to move the bar until desired level of censorship is obtained.
Well done, you’ve used moral panic to control your media.
Dark futures aside, why do I think that folks are just going to VPN their way in?
-
I’m glad they aren’t just nuking every sexy mod from the site and chose to comply instead.
Loverslab would’ve crashed from all the sign ups lol.
Can I get mods there?
Yeah, the kinky kind.
I miss the internet being a wild west.
It certainly had its downsides, but it felt a lot better than the nonsense that’s been happening over the past decade+.
Yeah, but once money got involved we had to start making regulations
You are literally a nazi /s
So then we need build new network with idea that it would be controlled by corps and gov so we need return back to darknet type of network and meshes
Ummm what? You make no sense.
Sorry eng is not my native I meant. “So, we need to build a new network with the understanding that governments and corporations will always try to control it. That means returning to darknet-style architectures and mesh networks.”
Like Tor?
Or i2p
It sucks that they have to do this. But I prefer this than to simply lock out users from the affected countries.
(Looking at steam here, not bothering to create age verification, which in turn means in some countries some games are not visible/purchasable at all)
In NL it is so stupid, I am legally allowed to verify my age and gamble, but opening loot boxes no way.
Worst part is that loot boxes aren’t even defined as gambling yet …
Nexus mods love censorship, so this makes sense. New VC owners coming in hot with getting it ready to sell off to the biggest corporate company.
What are you even talking about, this is law compliance.
For the UK maybe. I still don’t see why the entire EU needs to be affected.
Nexus mods love censorship and control, so this makes sense. Pretty easy to understand.
They’re a public platform, they have to moderate and “control” what gets posted, otherwise they get into trouble for it publicly.
I guess you haven’t been paying attention to them nuking and banning mods that they don’t like ideologically then?
What mods, though?
The best example are the ones that replace “Type 1 / Type 2” with “Male / Female” in games where you create a character. Banned. Another is the one that simply replaced all the pride flags with american flags in Spider-Man. Banned.
I love seeing conservative snowflakes complaining about censorship when it’s literally the most stupid small changes, you make it sound like the game is unplayable because it’s acknowledges/supports minorities in non-impactful ways.
But no mention of the games and mods that let you play out genocide/rape.
It’s the pride flags that are the problem. /s
You are moving the goalpost now, we know about the mods, but this is compliance. They either implement this, or blacklist the entire UK and EU from accessing the site.
Iirc only the UK law is actually binding, the EU, for now, got only guidelines, source Trust me Bro because its early and I feel not like doing research
I’m just saying, I bet they couldn’t wait to implement this. They’ll likely roll it out worldwide soon enough even when not forced to.
