I just tried to look at Substack and got prompted for my age. Click the ‘proceed’ button and they take you to a page where they ask for a 270-degree video of your fucking face–are you fucking kidding?! Not your drivers license, not any kind of official documentation, but data that can go straight into the thought-police files in case you ever decide to protest any more shit laws from the ALP/LNP duopoly, and they need to know who to throw into some police-state dungeon. You can guarantee they’ll keep each others’ strongarm thug fascist laws the way Labor held onto Howard’s mutual obligation.
It’s almost as though the age-verification routine is a quiet way of harvesting data on everyone OVER 16 through the back door. You need to provide the government with data to prove you’re NOT under 16 lol. Jesus wept. Eat balls Albanese you servile bootlicking sellout turncoat bought and paid for pig. Your personality needs a trademark for transparency purposes as a corporate property you redundant cunt. Hilariously enough, other basic fucks from mainstream politics tried similar years ago trying to block The Pirate Bay; you can add a VPN add-on to your browser that works in private viewing without you even needing to turn it on.
This time, yeah, it was just a matter of googling an online proxy server. I’ve watched kids play with Tor on school laptops many a time, like it wouldn’t have taken any of them about two seconds to turn a VPN on. Australian politicans are such craven fuckheads. You just do shit for show, providing answers to questions no one is asking while ignoring the citizenry when we’re demonstrating against you en masse on a weekly basis for fucking years. I hate middle class politicking scum so much. There’s just no end to your arrogance, venality and stupidity. Hopefully the main consequences of this fucking idiocy will be the number under-16s figuring what a bunch of pointless bunglecunts the political class are.
It was like this before you were born, kids.
