And all service providers/hosts around the world are expected to comply.
Here’s one summary of the looming access control measures.
Reading and understanding all this (and the linked sources) feels so… difficult, obtuse, complex.
they finally got what they wanted
Eventually a network decentralized on an infrastructure level, like a meshnet or satellite network where each satellite is controlled and owned by an individual, will be the only way to freely transmit digital information. Sending a CubeSat to LEO costs about $30k these days and will probably get cheaper as technology improves. I think a community run decentralized satellite network accessible via local meshnet through on-ground satellite-connected nodes will be the next step in the fight against censorship. As long as governments control the cables our data flows through, they won’t stop trying to control it.
Im surprised this is the first Ive heard, and so little response. Who do we petition, when’s the march?
Dude, this is Australia, we just protest if China does it other then that it’s fiine.
Don’t they already check if user is over 16 if he wants to sign up for mainstream social media?
And why the fuck does the govt. not provide the age verification tools? This is the insane part.
Australians soon engaging in wider spread adoption of VPN and tor usage.
Yeah. But the important question is where should we choose as our exit server. The UK is no good. Certain states in the US. European countries have rules. Are there any vpn servers in Africa or the Cayman Islands?
It’s only a matter of time before this is everywhere. It’s spreading like the plague it is. When it finally gets down to just the last few providers, they’ll be watching them like a hawk.
We need some kind of peer-to-peer network with plausible deniability built-in. like you decrypt all the chunks forward and you get segments of Linux ISOs. And if you decrypt them backwards, you get the actual payload. Old school Vera Crypt style.
Taiwan. Ranks high on internet freedom and is close by.

I highly recommend finding onion services on tor to replace your clearnet services when at all possible. That way you’re not leaving the tor network at all. And there is no need for an exit to the clearnet at any point in the route.
I wish there was a more clear answer to this question. I certainly don’t have it but yes there are servers in Africa.

I forsee open directories and data hordes becoming popular
Inshitification of the Internet, who would have thought.
I wonder what it would take now to ditch the internet like one would do when ditching Facebook for example.
It would be somewhat freeing, I imagine. Though, if you were to go hardcore, quick access to knowledge would be the biggest drawback.
Ditching the enshittified parts would probably be easier. Can do offline maps (or paper), purge social media, and use credible sites for any information you might need to look up.
I doubt it would be 100% completely possible, it was more of a hypothetical thought in its self.
Knowing most services are reliant on the internet now, such a POS (point of sale) devices in stores, home phones, condo intercoms, buying airline tickets.
Its would definitely be easier to just stay away or block enshitified parts at the firewall level. Though in some cases even then I find myself using Facebook for its Marketplace only as a example.

Will it come to india ?
Yes. The powers that be now understand what the internet is, and they want to fully control it in every possible way. Not only for their interests, but to make sure the interests of their enemies are thwarted.
It’s the same on this part of the planet.
Same suggestion to you.
Forge a new one. Make yourself younger/older, male/female, gay/ultra max gay and then use that to watch all sorts of kinky stuff.
Profit.
Don’t you guys have some form of government ID that almost anybody can forge? Or is it an old thing?
You mean Adhaar ? If yes then, it is still valid and effectively used.
Great. Can you forge a new one? Get a new ID. Make yourself 10yrs younger/older.
Then watch all the porn you want.
Simple.Impossible. Adhaar must be updated within 10 years and even i need adhaar for purchasing a sim card or having a bank account. Keeping a fake or impersonated adhaar is a crime. They don’t allow it, until someone notices it.
Glad to know your government fucks you too.
