Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Emailed the UK government telling them that age verification is both the same as someone installing a spy camera, and forcing it on social media is no different to a creep following a woman at night. I won’t get a response but it’s nice to tell a politician they are evil freaks. 031
Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Didn’t even know they were trying this, good to see it get blocked 021
Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Nothing makes me “Nope” out of an adult website more than seeing a post mandating that I use “Yoti” - a company that profits from endangering women and girls - as they only way to even access the website. This is using a VPN based in a country where invasive age verification is not mandated. 000
Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The approach Pornhub has taken is logical, effective and grounded in reality. But it also doesn’t make Ofcom or predatory age verification companies money so they are going to fight it tooth and nail. t.co/eh6G1rcl0jt.cohttps://www.xbiz.com/news/300966/ofcom-investigates-pornhubs-device-based-uk-age-checks 000
Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I do believe sex workers can and should be going to the ECHR over laws like this anyway, since it’s effecting their speech and expression. 100
Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 23/09/2026If I was in France, had an “AI Influencer” and did a viewers request for said ”AI Influencer“ to do something sexual, would that be a crime even if said “AI Influencer” is not a real person. I would argue no and that my rights under the ECHR are being violated. 100
Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I would also argue that the law is too broad anyway, YouTube literally recommended me videos yesterday of women revving cars and stepping in mud, which was clearly fetish content. If I was to request the creator to do a video with a certain car, would that be illegal? Even if it’s not sexual? 100
Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It would also need to be narrowly tailored and better defined. Banning ”sexual services“ is one thing, but they would need to define it better than that, and also ensure they don’t ban general adult content such as someone uploading a nude image to onlyfans If not, then the law is vulnerable 100

Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Yes, that’s why the ULEZ needs to go. It’s discriminatory, outdated and pointless, it’s not necessary since the vast majority of cars aren’t more than 10 years old anyway. There is no reason to keep this discriminatory money making scheme around, it should go. 200

Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I would go as far as to say that the ULEZ Areas of London are some of the worst places I think I have briefly ever been.

Suspect Device @sootyjared.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Rich selfish people living and working inside an area that banned evil poor people in their evil poor people cars, they are bound to be assholes.
