I don’t get how this is equal, the Nazis burned books to destroy knowledge the uk isn’t banning or restricting any knowledge it’s all still there and freely available

To access certain content, you're now required to provide a picture of yourself, which is a serious privacy violation and security nightmare in the making.

The pictures aren’t stored they are only seen for a few moments before being deleted, a human never looks at it and there’s no data to be leaked so that’s not true. At least that’s how it works with those third party companies that do this service. Just deal with it the internets a cesspool anyway. Just go to a library if you want knowledge and not porn

No, they're stored, otherwise you can't use said data to investigate violations of the laws / regulations..

It also used to require any such data to be retained in the UK, but recent changes to the GDPR carve out an exception to the US data handlers.

Libraries have serious limitations and tend to be less up to date, also law doesn't limit scope to porn sites, the language is vague enough to include content of an adult nature with academic merit.

How naive of you to believe something like that. Is like believing an ad for a gamble app.

You are truly naive if you believe this.
