The UK government has refused to regulate the ever-growing age verification industry.
This is despite market leader Yoti being fined by the Spanish data protection authority for the way it handles personal data.
Expanding the reach of age gates further across the Internet threatens privacy.

Powers unhindered by UK Parliamentary scrutiny threaten freedom of expression.
With no need to demonstrate harm to children, governments could do as they please.
A Reform government could force ID checks to access LGBTQ content as part of their manifesto commitment “to end trans ideology” in schools.

Digg's short-lived reboot is on pause, and a sizeable proportion of staff is being laid off, but the story isn't over. Founder Kevin Rose sold the company in 2012 but repurchased it, alongside Alexis Ohanian, in 2025, relaunching it in open beta in January 2026 as "the front page of the internet, now with superpowers." However, it was pulled from the app store today, with CEO Justin Mezzell citing the "brutal reality of finding product fit" and an "unprecedented bot problem." What now? Rose will return to Digg full time to figure out next steps. Here's @Sarahp's story for @Techcrunch.

This video was released by #Forbrukerrådet, the Norwegian #Consumer Council, a few days ago
It imagines the career trajectory of an "enshittificator"
It was hard for him to enshittify minor aspects of daily life in person, but became easy for him to do so at scale once he embraced the #Internet and #technology
It's genius #satire
