    But you don’t have to use it dumbass. There is no requirement to fill it in. Funny though how you’ve never apparently had a problem with the RealName field that’s been in there for years.

      No shit, that’s not the point. The point is that in the future they will make it a requirement. Is there something more specific you need help understanding?

      No requirement today, what about tomorrow? What is happening with age verification in UK?

      You need to prove you are an adult usually via CC when you want a wank

      So kids and adults started to use VPNs

      So now the government is considering forcing VPN’s to also perform age verification

      What is next? Do you need more examples of how this is idiotic? Do you know the reason why no one is up in arms about the RealName? Because it was not implemented specifically to facilitate age verification where as this change is purely and specifically to be used for this purpose and no other. Go read the actual PR.
