Iâm downloading pics from social media in preparation for that age verification bill to come into effect because I donât want to give these companies my ID. Iâve put on there that people can send me their deets if I donât have them. If they donât do it by the time I know itâs going ahead Iâll drop an email address in their messages and leave. Then the ball is in their court.
And yeah people say it wonât happen but theyâve said that about a lot of stuff that did.
I wish Iâd done that and deleted my profile before everything got scraped with no choice to opt out.
Iâm looking into a VPN too. I should have sorted one years ago but you have to make sure itâs not shady.

Iâm confused, you mean provide a false id?

I donât use them frequently either but itâs a social trap. If you leave those platforms people are so used to being there that not many bother to stay in contact via other channels.
I have a few people who left or are such infrequent users we do email, but Iâm about to find out what happens with the rest.

My issue is trying to get other people that have posted photos of me to take it down. Currently working through this.
Fortunately thereâs not too many but still enough to be annoying.
But yes government and corporate overreach scares me.

I figure thatâs not really possible so the best I can do is just make a plan in case of losing access.
