Here's one from way back - late 1980s or very early 1990s. This was the werewolf look I was sporting before doing haunt stuff.

Oh and by the way, these age verification things are pure bullshit. This is the leading "open source" one people are talking about. I thought I'd have to employ some AI image generation stuff to spoof it. That was... overly optimistic about their capabilities.

"Highly Effective Age Verification" they said.

Trivia: this post makes a percentage of people's eyes water.

I see the "Repeal the OSA" petition is gaining traction, but I can't be optimistic about it at all.

The best thing you can do is write to your MP - rub it in their face. If it's easy for you and you feel confident, go to their constituency surgery and raise the issue in person. Some important talking points that will "activate" MPs:

• British ingenuity and skill created the World Wide Web. Much of the technology that is popular and profitable today was developed in small, online communities that the OSA is destroying.

• If Labour's vision for a future Britain is one of technology and AI, the UK must be a leader in free discourse online, not a restricted, closed-down Internet state.

• Policing the entire World Wide Web isn't the UK's job. Ofcom is already stretched thin and this is a waste of resources that could otherwise be put to better use keeping UK citizens (including children) safe. Money is better spent on tooling and education for parents and children alike.

World cold and hard. Werewolf girlfriend soft and warm.
