We've seen a massive move, in many countries, to roll out age-gating of social media.
This has all been done under the Trojan horse banner of "think of the children".
Those of us with half a brain realise that this has a lot less to do with protecting vulnerable children than it does with forcing digital ID on the wider population and the tracking/surveilance that such a move allows.
Across the ditch in Australia we've already seen mandatory age-gating for social media and, in theory, under 16-year-olds are no longer allowed to access the websites and apps they love so much, without significant restrictions.
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
