After enforcing age verification to prevent children from viewing those pesky Gaza genocide videos that Israel did not want them to see, they gotta ensure that those brats wont be able to get around it and still see the videos.

Its amazing how this censorship was brought on rapidly and precisely after Netanyahu demanded it at the start of last year. No surprise as half of Starmer government was funded by zionists.

I really don't think governments need a kick in the tail from a foreign power to try to grab more power. It's just what they do by nature.

Not sure what you're going on about. I don't think children should be watching any genocide videos. Is that something you watched a lot of as a child?

The thing is, it's not really children who lose access to this sort of content, it's the user who doesn't want to give Reddit or Twitter or whoever else a copy of their driving licence. Without age verification, they don't see the truth of something like Gaza, because it's ages restricted. They can however view the other, sanitised version of the story.

> I don't think children should be watching any genocide videos.

Not watching any genocide videos means not seeing anything related to the genocide either. And that provides the basis for propaganda to make the genocide disappear, or turn it around by inventing realities. That was how the Iraqi WMDs were made happen.

This is happening for no apparent reason, other than Netanyahu personally requesting it at the start of 2025.
