How Ireland’s new safety code affects video sharing site like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, etc.
Weird, usually Ireland both understands technology and it’s value to companies way more than this. I really had the UK digitalpy isolating itself first using protect the children nonsense but I guess Ireland learned well from its master.

I worry that age verification will backfire spectacularly; users can just tunnel their traffic through a VPN and then once on a VPN, they would also miss all harmful content blocking. Middle schoolers can figure out how to get around school web filters, and they, and everyone else, will figure their way around age verification just as easily.
