Agreed - very disturbing how common it has become. That’s actually why I joined Lemmy and I’m getting more and more into open source and distributed systems. I’m not going to be giving my ID to random tech companies just to use the internet. If there is nobody to threaten, there’s not a lot they can do to restrict these services, short of outright banning them. But I don’t think that would be possible to enforce.

Even then, if you set up your own private instance which is just you and probably some verified friends that you know, you wouldn’t even be falling foul of the law as there’s no way for children to access harmful content. Do suppose your IP address being traceable easier though would be an issue in that circumstance.
