I think it's a UK thing

They have been passing legislation to basically dox their citizens for them to gain access to the internet

Yeah it's like the government want to get sued. They are better than the previous administration but that's a pretty low bar

It was obvious things like this will happen, unlike banks and government sites social media sites don't have strict cyber security requirements and they want these sites to have a government ID. It was a bad idea from the start.
