Except clearly the King does.
Recently, the UK passed the Online Safety Act, requiring people to be age-verified to prevent kids from seeing 18+ stuff (we won't get into that, that's not the point). At 1st, it sounds great! Then you see how they do that... either algorithms figure out what age you're at and censor anything too old for you or... y'know... make you give them your SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. Or your PASSPORT. Or your DRIVER'S LICENSE. Or your FACE. What the--
I'm here to let you know 1 thing:
THIS. SUCKS.
It's an absolute NIGHTMARE to privacy. What if a website gets leaked (which happens all the time)? Are you telling me the hackers can now use my social security number and pretend to be me? Oh, thank god I'm Canadian, so I don't have to worry about this! Oh wait, they can pretend to be me and travel to whatever country they want with my passport. And they can use my face for AI-generated videos to make me say "Trump and Putin rule!" when regular me would say "Trump and Putin suck!". Oh boy...
I used to TRUST the UK. They were one of the only English, slightly sane and European country there is. Now? That trust is GONE. I can't believe them on anything. And I obviously won't, 'till the British Revolution finally happens after 258 years of waiting, and the king will be forced to revert these changes at gunpoint by the British people holding an AK-47 in their right hand and green tea in the other.
As per the US? The moment Trump got elected, I decided this: if I was running a country, I'd play Trump's tariff game - by putting tariffs on the US. Then, I'd collect as many countries that despise Trump, then we'd all colloquially tariff the US. That actually sounds like a great idea. But this just irons it out that Trump is an absolute idiot (if it wasn't obvious before) and he is one of, if not the most incompetent presidents the US has ever had to face in its 249 years of existence.
To Trump and/or the king, if you are reading this: if you don't get rid of this act within 1 month (so, until August 31st), I will collect as many people as possible to keep fighting this off. Frigg you.
