As much as I hate Reddit this is just continuation of the UK government steamrolling and destroying the free Internet, ruining the adult experience.
One of the wonders of the Internet was that it was wildly unregulated - if you wanted it and you could disable safesearch you could get it, with the caveat of ISP-enforced content locks on all mobile data subscriptions under the name of a legal child (under 18), workplace and school security and filters, unremovable Safesearch on most search engines etc. Broadband required an adult, who in turn could activate parental controls. I couldnt wait until I turned 18 so I could finally access many sites for porn, news, gaming, forums and anything containing keywords without being blocked. I had a list of proxies for bypassing school filters.
In short there is significant existing protection in place and we know that this is simply more evidence of Orwellian enforcement.

oh 🫣 I’ve probably heard that before but I must not have committed it to memory
Well that explains why Reddit was so ridiculously pro-porn and porn-riddled in general.
Ironically, Huffman doesn’t seem to be in the Epstein files. This isn’t because he isn’t a pedophile-- he very likely is-- but he simply wasn’t important enough of a person for them to invite him or even talk about him.
I’m not defending the guy but wasn’t it that a mod of that subreddit added him as a mod as a joke? I don’t think spez created it.
I believe op unless you have proof.
It was always the version of events that I’ve read.
I just did a quick search and found this, a video claiming that he was a mod, but the majority of comments indicate it’s not true and that it was debunked.
Spez actually owns site where majority of comments stick up for said owner? Sorry man, that ain’t proof. Wtf are you sticking up for spez anyway? I don’t know anyone sane that would.
Well where’s the proof that he created it? I’ll happily stand corrected.
I just think that if we’re going to attack someone, it’s probably a good idea to use facts that are true and not made up (it’s likely that op just misremembered the details) otherwise it just puts doubt on any further valid points. I’ve no interest in defending the guy but I do think we should try and keep our facts straight when we criticise someone.

Err … sir. Do you understand how the internet works? “Facts”? “Truth”? “Not made up”? These are not things a shit poster craves.
This will surely stop reddit in it’s tracks!
Cheering on websites getting fined for the reason of internet censorship. I know Spez is a prick but I don’t want the UK cracking down on internet privacy.
We must protest against the labour party’s corruption.
Good. Bury reddit for protecting the pedophiles in the name of corporate greed.
Garbage fine by tyrannical government trying to police what you do online. Stop age verification!
This seems like one of those cases where you wish both sides could lose. Reddit are up to no good, but lack of identity document demands isn’t it.
Not enough. Not nearly.
The article says Reddit isn’t protecting the privacy of children while contradicting itself by saying it needs age verification for this…. in reality this leads to user profiling and data breaches.
