Age-verification rules are changing the internet, fast. In this video, we break down Imgur’s decision to block all UK access (from 30 Sept 2025), the UK ICO’s investigation and Children’s Code pressure, and why the EFF says these laws are a “windfall for big tech” and a “death sentence” for smaller communities. We look at real-world fallout, parenting, green-living, and Linux gaming forums forced offline and demonstrate how a simple VPN location switch restores access, exposing how geoblocks shift behavior rather than solve risk.
If you care about digital rights, privacy, and how regulation shapes what we can see online, this walkthrough shows the trade-offs, the loopholes, and who pays the price.
