Lords vote brings UK “Social Media Ban” one step closer
Kit Knightly
Yesterday, the British House of Lords brought the looming end of online anonymity one step closer when they voted to support an amendment to the pending Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would ban children under 16 from using social media.
It’s been said more times than anyone can count, but any “social media ban” based on age would – in reality – be an excuse to require all users to verify their identity and thereby end online anonymity, and eventually usher in government backed digital ID apps.
The good news is that some dissenters in the Lords seems to be aware of this danger, and spoke of it openly:
A bit of a lone voice against cross-party fervour of Lords baying to ban social media for the under 16s. It really won't keep kids safe and could create a range of unintended consequences. But also it makes ADULT age-gating ID checks compulsory, for all user to user services.… pic.twitter.com/PSKPyu6qAl

…though I would add, in this case, the consequences are far from “unintended”. The side effect is the intended effect.
The press are, naturally, toeing the line. The Guardian, faithful agenda-setters that they are, try to sell Sir Keir Starmer as reluctant to institute such a ban, and that the Lords are “pressuring” him to act.
This is an obvious and rather pitiful lie, this ban has clearly been the desired outcome for months. But faux reluctance is always important when becoming a tyrant. Always better to appear to be answering the call than imposing your will.
As ever, this isn’t just a UK issue. Australia got the ball rolling and the EU isn’t far behind.
Meanwhile, across pond, the US version of the same legislation has been “revived” according to Reclaim the Net, and Canadian officials are drawing up plans of their own, with the slightest wrinkle of a lower age cut-off.
Even as the leaders of the “free world” gather in Davos to take pot shots at one another, the evident truth is they either agree on their most fundamental policies, or the power to make those decisions is entirely out of their hands.
As the world powers pretend to conflict, the reality is they move in concert toward the same end.

I understand all the concerns about Digital ID, but we cannot deny that social media unfortunately generate a lot of threats for mental health of children and minors. Therefore we should honestly reflect, how to effectively diminish negative impact of social media to children and minors. In physical world children and minors are legally not allowed to have access to some places, products or services (e.g.: alcohol or cigarettes), so why not to apply the same rules in digital reality? It’s an open question- I do not favour any solution.
The Western powers facilitating mass child murder in Gaza want to protect children under 16 whilst talking of conscription that would put 16-year-olds through a meat grinder. You can’t make this sh*t up.
This topic has inspired me to write a commentary on Medium about Substack’s inexplicable “age verification” requirements for Australians — and perhaps UK users as well soon?
I’ve titled it The weird spiderweb that is Substack’s “age verification” requirement.
To me, the volume and variety of effectively fourth-party vendors involved in the process is alarming. Substack contracts to Persona, which may contract to currently 17 other vendors.
The fineprint in Persona’s standard privacy policy about what happens to one’s facial images and other personal data is … well, it’d be hilarious if it weren’t real.
Here it is
Seems to be a technology that’s here to stay.
It’s already in implementation in the UK for gov.uk ID verification, requiring the latest iphone or android phone to do so (although there are still currently alternative methods)
Sure, although its power over us is dependent solely on our use of it and compliance with its insane rules.
An example of the insanity: restricting user access to a site that was free for all, without subscription or payment, just last month, and which can now be accessed not with a credit card (i.e., requires payment) but with a government-issued photo ID and high-res images of one’s face.
In other words, they haven’t additionally monetised the site; only made it mandatory for users to provide biometric data in order to access it. That makes no business sense — that is, unless the lost revenue from former users going elsewhere is being recovered in some other way.
Fortunately, we don’t have to use any of these commercial sites. Government sites are another matter, although the great diversity of ages, languages, and tech literacy in our populations these days requires that our governments continue to offer low-tech options for the foreseeable future.
Foreseeable… that was an interesting word choice. I did not foresee any of this technocracy stuff coming.
Oz passes their own gestapo rules:
https://www.abc.net.au/religion/kath-gelber-australia-hate-speech-law-countering-antisemitism/106255134
Ah, yes, but this new law was so contentious that it broke apart the well-established Coalition (the Liberal-National Party) which was the other half of our two-party-predominant political system (Australian Labor Party and the Coalition, with the Greens a distant third). As a result, there is a leadership spill about to happen in the Liberal Party; the head of the Party will likely be deposed.
This new law also has judges, lawyers, religious leaders, civil rights advocates, and others on edge. It is encountering a lot of pushback among free-speech advocates and those who believe in the right to peacefully protest.
I predict that it will fall at the first hurdle — the first court case challenging its vague and excessively broad terms.
It sounds like one of those radio phone-in ‘debates’ so that no one talks about important things like Gaza or immigration. Plus Claire Fox was one of the ‘useful idiots’ on the ‘left’ who enabled Boris Johnson’s Brexit – clearly neither the left or an idiot, as she was soon in the House of Lords, with a daily expense account larger than most people’s pay.

They want to protect British youth below 16? Go and prosecute all woke native officials that kept the racist Pakistani grooming gangs in the UK unrestricted the last two decades!
Yeah! They’re taking the racist grooming gang jobs away from native Anglo Brits…
Waitaminnute… how is it that you managed to keep your racist grooming gang job? How is it that Tommy ‘the Lemon’ Lenin still has such a job?
With the loss of the Indian colony and the fall of South Africa, where’s a bloke gotta go to get his freak on? Israel?
just because tommy zionist cnt robinson is a cnt doesn’t mean that 100’s of thousands of young british girls were systematically and repeatedly gang-raped and trafficked by gangs of pakistani-origin muslim men.
nor does the fact that child rape is the preferred blackmail technique of the banking cabal to keep aspiring politicians in line take away from that gruesome massive crime that small minds like yours have been trained to dismiss as ‘racist’ and therefore utterly belittle and ignore.
come back when you’ve learned to put big boy pants on and see the whole board.
before they can enforce it they will need to define what social media actually is, and that’s not going to be easy
No need. The companies are self-identifying as being subject to these bans. Case in point: Substack censoring itself in Australia for no reason.
When are people going to realize that a bunch of pedophiles are never going to keep society safe from pedophilia?
Stop going to the churches, snyevilgogne , mosques more importantly stop believing in pedophilia religions.
Hi Off Guardian truther, where is the Julian Assange TV series or films or mega book deal?
You’re telling me there isn’t one woke MSM + truther out there with a checkbook to say ,
“Hey Julian, do an exclusive interview, book deal, or TV podcast-one show, even an appearance on Netflix for an interview .” If CIA Tucker Carlson got evil Putin or Jo
ke Rogan had WWE Trump, an interview with Julian Assange would blow the viewing numbers off the roof. You’d make millions to help with legal fees, family, and you’d say hello to all your donors and supporters.Like the scarcity lie , the internet is a gold mine of propaganda . There are more shills selling Julian Assange trapped in an embassy for seven years than those telling you this is all a lie. The digital ID is making the internet sound important and feeding the scarcity myth. COVID worked because of the internet. Trump’s fake-ass assassination worked because of the internet. Julian Assange’s fake story worked because of the internet.
The only people selling internet scarcity, as in the story above, are the same whores who sold you most of the psyops as real.
Current Status:
Aside from the fact that the Lords, the Brit’s Senate, are filled with Royalty’s appointments and is an unelected body, it seems to me what we are witnessing is just another iteration of false binary conflict screening out the obvious solution, consciously applied limits. On one binary side, total freedom of access to virtual assets. On the other binary side, a simple age restriction forcing adoption of Digital ID. The middle or outside way that neither side is willing to debate across society is how do we design internet access to function like the real world brick and mortar access which existed pre-internet?
Society is at a turning point where adequately dealing with the virtual world vs the real world is imperative. Reality is being exhausted, devalued, dragged and drowned in the bathtub of the rich (see Grover Norquist). The virtual world is being groomed to take it’s place. A place where you must be a tracked, traced and visible proxy (digi ID) of yourself, wherever you are. You are inside a virtual world in this scenario and we are the hunted in this Predator video game. A virtual fascism.
The 99% of the world need to grasp a hold of this strategem and crush it before implementation. Humanity’s use of the virtual in the electronic digital age, needs to be consciously limited and controlled to serve the social needs of humanity. Fiat (decreed) money, paper money is virtual. Images and words are representations, virtualizations. We’ve used these and many more as tools to communicate, simulate and create.
Now that they have exhausted reality, they are attempting to drag us into a virtual reality where absolute control of humanity is executable. Our response must be to redesign digital-virtual worlds back to real-virtual boundaries, limitations. Turning human beings into digital proxies and voiding real world human rights is evil beyond measure.
I have suggested here a bifurcated, hardware gated internet. One channel a public net of information access, available to all, simulating a Public Library information system where all human knowledge is made available, as gifted by humanity. A second channel, available to 16>, would be the adult, commerce based media internet where anything goes. Hardware gateway devices and computers would ONLY be sold in local brick and mortar stores, like some current State liquor stores. No mail or online orders leaving adults and families to be the ultimate gatekeeper just as drugs and adult activities were previously done in the physical world. This is easily doable if the public decides to implement this solution requiring commerce to follow. This is our world, not theirs.
Whatever solutions we do come up with, to humanize the virtual world and preserve the real world, can only be done by us. The elite are attempting a bifurcated world of 1-5% masters and 95-99% slaves. We can’t let this happen.
Any ideas out there?
Hasn’t the world always been bifurcat
That’s what the ruling classes want us to believe, and act accordingly. Nonesense!
Oops.
Hasn’t the world always been bifurcated sandy?
The few exploiting the many is as old as greed itself.
Capitalschi$m rules, and unless that changes we are stuck with it.
Condemn ‘globally’ act locally.
Many counties have copied the “bicameral” legislature from W. Europe, with heriditary parasites and ultrawealthy pirates having the final say on laws.
The overall thrust is contol over the little people through the power to block energy (only available as electricity), communication, food, farming, travel, health, money, etc. Given the gowing variety of vague and covert restrictions, locking up any loudmouth who forgets his place is easy. Alternatively, anyone, even a bigwig who gets too independent, can have an unfortunate accident.
If it’s only about social media then I can live without it (‘been doing this for more than 10 years now). I’m affraid it will extend to all the possible Internet services or popular websites. The MSM has paywalls, not sure who is reading them (or why, for that matter) but sometimes you need some information.
Their “social media” ban includes YouTube, a site for watching videos. It’s not hard to imagine it being extended to any website with a comment section, including this one. The plan is to ultimately remove online anonymity altogether.
Since kids can fake their ages and create fake faces and fake accounts, so can anyone else, including the bots that populate the internet.
Fake gender
A skeptic, a rebel who endored the lockdowns, masks , fake testing , and sold the boosters , but is about free speech .
Let that sink in for dumbfuckery.
Pied piper for the gullible.
And there you go; the MSM plus woke right now have a new hero in their corner called Claire Fox.
Just like that, they all post virtually the same clips in tandem, telling us who to like and that she is an advocate of free speech, and free speech can only come from the right.
Didn ‘t they do this with Orban, Trump, Musk, RFK Jr. , Tulsi Gabbard , Sir Desmond Swain , Sir Christopher Chope, Boris Johnson , Giuseppe Conte, Orban, Bolsonaro , Giorgia Meloni , Andrew Bridgen, Nigel Farage?
Remember when Laurence Fox was a rebel?
BUT THIS TIME IT WILL BE DIFFERENT,
Posted by woke alt-right MSM plus intelligence service media.
AND Just like that Claire Fox is now number one in the searches when it comes to House of Lords digital free speech advocate. OMG, and that came about from a little bit of help from the MIC, alt media, and alphabet agency friends.
You dont need have clairvision or be clairvoyant to no promoted control op shill from the get go.
Some need re-minding.
She knows that social media is fulfilling its intended purpose!

Why choice is crucial
Tuesday 10 August 2021 by Harley Richardson
Writing in The MJ, Claire worries that making COVID-19 vaccination mandatory for those working in a Care Quality Commission-registered care home in England is illiberal…
When the Government recently announced that it is to make COVID vaccination a condition of employment for anyone working in a Care Quality Commission-registered care home in England, I was shocked.
I was even more shocked that my opposition, as a civil libertarian, was ridiculed for fuelling anti-vax sentiment. Nothing could be further from the truth.
It is galling because I am very much in favour of COVID vaccines and I have no time for the anti-Big Pharma tropes or the rejection of pharmacological interventions. Yet I’m told to shush in case opposing this seismic legal shift might discourage people from taking the jab. The opposite is more likely…

UK should have stayed in EU: https://coronanews123.wordpress.com/2021/03/21/european-council-no-discrimination-against-the-unvaccinated/ .
All UKIP’s bs about freedom my arse.
The UK is still a member of the Council of Europe. And a part from supporting your right to have babies, the parliament is a waste of space!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Europe
Unlike the EU, the Council of Europe cannot make binding laws; however, the council has produced a number of international treaties, including the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR) of 1953. Provisions from the convention are incorporated in domestic law in many participating countries.[11] The best-known body of the Council of Europe is the European Court of Human Rights, which rules on alleged violations of the ECHR.[12]
Thanks for info. I just think this is better than nothing. Better than UK, the Zion news and their bullies.
Reminding or re-rinsing ? Remorseful in riddance of the ridiculousness of the recipe of the Mince ? ! 😂
Good rant, by the way: nice & grumpy, gerard
Me like that: logical,
Greetings,
Balky
Seems now that the dividing line between the population is basically those who understand that there is no conflict amongst the regime only lockstep.
And those who see nothing different since covid.
A new paradigm is struggling to emerge or rather the struggle is to subdue it
So true – a genuine race-condition. Them or us.
Also, ‘lockstep’ is only made possible because ‘the regime’ exists. And our individual governments are merely their local Customer Complaints depts.
So the old order has gone, bring in the new.
No law, no justice, only power and control.
So the mask has dropped. There was never justice or fairness, only coercion, power and control.
Now it’s ok to say, I have more weapons, we want your land, your country, your oil, and the subservient poodles bow in obedience.
Our courts are removing jury trials. Fkn great. A post like this could get you a year.
We need to sign up 10,000 young, fit men, prepared to stand against Tyranny. We are the people, we take back control, and wherever we have a problem, we turn up in force. Law has gone; there is only force.
Remember The A team:
The A-Team: Created by Stephen J. Cannell, Frank Lupo. With George Peppard, Mr. T, Dwight Schultz, Dirk Benedict. Four ex-Army Special Forces soldiers become heroes for hire, after being branded as war criminals for a crime they didn’t commit. After breaking out of Prison, they end up helping the…….
Or meekly go back to your bed with your head under the covers.
The A Team versus the MIC and psychos in suits?
Game, set and match.
theres an easy way out of this as it hasnt been cleary defined as to what social media is a website we are not social media so we dont have to comply
it will state, ‘any website with an open public comments section’ or similar.
Maduro might have a cellmate sooner than he thinks:

Interesting link. Thanks.
To Lam and his forefather Ho chi Minh killed and blew 60 000 US young boys. The red danger is still there right under our bed!
If I were you I would not sleep so complete unconcerned.
Are you kidding?
More than three million South East Asians were slaughtered, mainly women and children.
God knows how many were maimed or traumatized.
The forests of Vietnam were poisoned with Agent Orange as were many POOR BLACK AND WHITE working class USians.
The end result: The Empire of War Greed and Hypocrisy ran and the bullshit Domino Principle was swept under the carpet.
FFS!
Yes, I were kidding. 😖 .
So what’s the grand, unifying theory? And whose is it?
So much OffG content presents different angles on ultimately a singular problem. Would be good to read some sober attempts at that higher-level view.
Like from the Islamic faith you follow?
is would Joe Rogan be more your level.
Yes, numb-nuts. That’s exactly what I meant..
the higher-level view – Oracle films can do it far better than most:
The baby lie in its pram, facing forward away from its mother. The prams
hood was up, a towel draped down over its front to block light from disturbing
baby…. The baby lie in shadowy darkness, nothing stimulating to distract it.
The baby could see nothing, but it could hear its mother’s voice talking, talking,
talking. The baby lie there thinking** “I hope i get a smartphone soon so
Mummy talks to me”, when it was not wondering** “Why doesnt Mummy want
to look me in the eyes ?”
** Thunk in baby-think, of course…
Here’s the thing les.
Babies don’t think. How can they? They are born without any concepts or preconceived (pardon the pun) thoughts.
A brand new human being is just that: A Being of pure Love.
Then sadly, we start to shape its mind to our ways, and it’s all downhill from there.
Granted, we have to learn how to live in the world, but unfortunately a lot of that learning is accumulated ignorance.
If parents, teachers, religious leaders and the media encouraged children to be more curious and questioning, the world would be a much better place.
Yeah but then again, the human baby is the most violent being on earth… if it was it’s parents size, they wouldn’t survive without serious precautions… make sure you fit that fact somewhere in there
When a baby is hungry, in pain or uncomfortable, they have one recourse: Crying. That is not violence.
Violence requires thoughts, premeditation and/or planning, unless it is self defence.
“….the most violent being on earth…..”
maybe terrorist ?
I think a terrosist is very similar to a big baby
Wouldnt bet on it.
The New covid babies will be something daintily different.
Most of the London ministries are still mentally in the EU / CCP train of thought: 1984.
Brexit was wasted, both in the old boys clubs and the woke women groups.
I have to say, Nigel Farage is a very convincing used car salesman. He sold the Conservative Party the old banger of Brexit — and after they drove it a bit and the wheels fell off, he cried “look what you did to that lovely car!
Actually they couldnt stand alone. In most areas EU outperformed the King and his Khazar Team. https://coronanews123.wordpress.com/2021/03/21/european-council-no-discrimination-against-the-unvaccinated/ .

Google: Granulomatous–lymphocytic interstitial lung disease mrna vaccination
https://www.google.com/search?q=Granulomatous%E2%80%93lymphocytic+interstitial+lung+disease+mrna+vaccination
Granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) is a chronic, non-infectious lung complication associated with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID). While mRNA vaccines (such as Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) are generally safe and recommended for immunocompromised individuals, including those with CVID, there are rare reports of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines being associated with the onset or exacerbation of interstitial lung disease (ILD).
Key Findings on mRNA Vaccination and ILD/GLILD:
Safety in Immune Deficiencies: Studies indicate that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are generally well-tolerated in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) and GLILD.
Case Reports of Vaccine-Related ILD: A small number of cases have reported new-onset or exacerbated ILD (specifically cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP)-like reactions or hypersensitivity pneumonitis) shortly after receiving COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
Symptoms and Timing: Vaccine-associated ILD symptoms, such as acute dyspnea and fever, typically appear within 1–3 days of the vaccine.
Management: In reported cases, these reactions have been successfully managed with corticosteroid therapy, and in some cases, the condition resolved spontaneously.
Risk Factors: Pre-existing lung disease is recognized as a potential risk factor for developing drug-induced ILD, including potential vaccine-related reactions.
Risk vs. Benefit: While rare adverse events (ILD) exist, evidence suggests the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination (preventing severe disease) outweigh the risks.
CVID and GLILD Specifics:
Patients with CVID, regardless of GLILD status, have an activated T and B cell phenotype, which may play a role in their immune response to vaccines.
Vaccination in CVID patients with GLILD has been shown to produce immune responses, though sometimes with lower antibody titers compared to healthy controls, especially in patients with severe B- and T-cell immunodeficiency.
Clinical Recommendation:
Due to the high risk of severe COVID-19 in patients with GLILD, vaccination is recommended, but vigilance for new or worsening respiratory symptoms in the days following vaccination is advised.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/jan/22/daniel-naroditsky-cause-of-death-accidental-report
US chess star Daniel Naroditsky’s death was accidental, medical examiner says
Report cites cardiac arrhythmia tied to sarcoidosis
Drug use contributory but not fatal, examiner says
The 29-year-old was found dead at his townhome in Charlotte in October 2025. At the time, police said his death was being investigated as a possible overdose or suicide, and no cause had been made public.
The medical examiner’s investigation, conducted by Dr James R Lozano and obtained by the Guardian on Thursday, concludes that Naroditsky died from a probable cardiac arrhythmia caused by undiagnosed systemic sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease that most commonly affects the lungs but can also involve the heart. Methamphetamine and kratom (mitragynine) use were listed as contributing conditions, though the report states that the levels detected were not considered toxic or lethal on their own. The manner of death was ruled an accident.
According to the report, postmortem radiographic imaging revealed extensive granulomatous lung disease, findings that are “highly suggestive” of sarcoidosis. Cardiac sarcoidosis can disrupt the heart’s electrical system and is a known cause of sudden death, sometimes without prior diagnosis or warning symptoms.
Sounds like ground-glass syndrome.
Inflamation, sepsis, infection, metabolic syndrome, deficiancy, age.. Do not sin against the name of the holy jab.
Lymphocytic infiltrates are a hallmark of spike protein production in patients who have died after being injected with one of the synthetic mRNA covid products (Pfizer or Moderna).
These infiltrates have been documented in many different organs and tissues, not just the lung, and they have been demonstrated in postmortem studies dating back to 2021. (See, for example, the work of Prof Arne Burkhardt.)
In some of the photomicrographs presented in these studies, the aberrant lymphocytes are so dense as to disrupt the normal architecture of the organ (i.e., granulomatous infiltrates). The myocardium (heart muscle) is one rather important tissue in which this migration is well documented.
So, this phenomenon is not new, relatively speaking. It was practically unheard-of prior to 2021 (limited to rare syndromes such as a specific type of immune-mediated thyroiditis), but it has been known since the first published postmortem studies of patients who died within weeks or months of receiving a covid shot.
Strange, didnt see THAT in the news.
In the wiki link it state that it is related to Covid itself in 15% of the cases.
But from we know now the Cvd vaccines could probably add to this statistic
It is useful to blame the virus and not the vaccine. There was a lot of that going on after the introduction of the covid shots. The subliminal message was this: Nature Bad, Science Good.
But because facts matter: In at least one of the postmortem studies I read at the time, the pathologist stained the samples using a technique capable of differentiating between viral spike protein and vaccine-induced spike — that is, viral infection vs vaccine injury. The conclusion was that the lymphocytic infiltrates and other damage was associated exclusively with the vaccine; there was no viral N (nucleocapsid) protein present.
Shedding is real. Seems we all are going to get this ‘systemic sarcoidosis’.
I learned that shedding is real. They also found the same in in a minor group of un-vaccinated. 😳 .
I know someone who contracted this very disease in 2023. Very scary.
Fell through more healthcare cracks than safe and effective could have ever imagined. Diagnosed with everything from cat allergy to dermatitus to possible stroke. Until a specialist was found, who although would never admit what caused the issue, at least diagnosed and treated properly and thoroughly.
Scarier even is the fact that had it developed one year earlier, this person would have ended up alone in an icu ward with a ventilator and remdesivir.
Amphetamine & Kratom: “With” vs “Off”
https://www.google.com/search?q=Daniel+Naroditsky+mrna+vaccine
Based on reports surrounding the death of American chess grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky in October 2025, there is no evidence in the available information connecting his death to an mRNA vaccine.
According to a toxicology report provided to the media in January 2026, the following facts regarding his death were established:
– Cause of Death: A medical examiner ruled that Naroditsky’s death was accidental, citing cardiac arrhythmia tied to sarcoidosis.
– Toxicology Report: The report found a “cocktail” of substances in his system, including methamphetamine, amphetamine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, and mitragynine.
– Context: While social media speculation sometimes mentions vaccines in cases of sudden, young deaths, official reports focused on the aforementioned substances and a underlying medical condition.
Note: The results indicate a high volume of online discussion about the COVID-19 vaccine generally, but no specific link to Naroditsky’s case.

Kratom
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitragyna_speciosa
Traditional use
In cultures where the plant grows, kratom has been used in traditional medicine.[8] The leaves are chewed to relieve musculoskeletal pain and increase energy, appetite, and sexual desire in ways similar to khat and coca.[11] The leaves, or extracts from them, are used to heal wounds and as a local anesthetic. Extracts and leaves have been used to treat coughs, diarrhea, and intestinal infections.[4][5][21] They are also used as intestinal deworming agents in Thailand.[20][29]
Kratom is often used by workers in laborious or monotonous occupations to stave off exhaustion and as a mood-enhancer and painkiller.[21] In Thailand, kratom was “used as a snack to receive guests and was part of the ritual worship of ancestors and gods”.[30] The herb is bitter and is generally combined with a sweetener.[23]

Alas, I can’t read that article — because it’s on Substack and I’m in Australia.
As I’ve noted a couple of times in these comments, Substack now requires “age verification” (i.e., digital identification using facial imaging) for Australians wanting to read or post anything on Substack. And I simply will not comply.
Perhaps you could summarise it for us?
You wouldn’t want to. It’s too long and too boring. Basically, it opposes world government.

Are absolutely sure that the original link doesn’t work directly? I could access it fine using an Australian ip address. No verification required.
Yes, I am absolutely sure because I tried to access it directly from your initial comment. The page loads, but within seconds Substack redirects to their “age verification” notice.
Oops! Sorry. The initial comment wasn’t yours; it was by Freecus.
Hi Chris. I’m also in Australia. I can read substack articles if I open the site in a private window (on Firefox}, the I can’t post any comments.
Thanks for the tip. I just tried it. I can access my own account that way, but Substack shows me only the three most recent articles I’ve posted. Thereafter, it requires me to “log in or create an account” for more. And I still can’t reply to my readers’ comments.
Substack is doing that?? Why Australia? Testing ground?
That’s too bad. Because when it comes to USA I will not comply.
Although at some point I think we will have to facial identify just to read our bloody emails.
have you seen Julian on your travels.

Probably with a couple of millions in his pockets. Doesnt it look like ‘controlled opposition, ‘staged fight for freedom’ theatre to you?
I have no problem where I am.
Australia has a special reputation sooooooo…The article is only for adults who have been through the infantile socialist phase.
Thus it is for your own sake they ask for your ID face and age.
I can’t read this on Substack as well… but I actually subscribed to Escapekey on Telegram and just checked my Telegram notifications, and this article is right there. Will read it shortly.
I believe 1984 adumbrated this long ago.
If it’s any consolation, Chaos Theory will bring them undone. It always has.
As long as those ‘butterflies keep flapping their wings’ the plots and plans of the $uiturd$ will always come asunder.
Control freaks are their own worst enemies.
I’m still not clear on what ‘social media’ encompasses – just FB, X, etc? FB already requires the nixing of VPN, otherwise you can’t log in. If you’ve been a long-time user they know your age; new users might have to age-verify.
But what about websites, such as OG and other online non establishment media? Or what about purchasing online? The latter already have your login info, incl. phone record, and home address.
Any website/blog, especially with visitor comments, is social media. At least OG does not ask for e-mail ID and/or phone no. “for verification”.
When i was younger our house wasnt connected to the mains water. We
relied on a coupla 44000 gallon water tanks to store the water that rained
on our roofs during the wet season. The taps on the tanks were about
eight inches from the bottom. The reason being: the rains cleaned the roof
of birdsh*t, burnt cane cinders, and all the other pollutants. washing them
into the tanks… All these created a layer of sludge inches thick on the bottom…
We drank the water, none of us ever got sick from it…
Of course, we didnt shower, but did share the bathwater… I suppose when
water rationing sets in that’ll be everyone’s future…
“Water, water everywhere……. ”

Showers use up less water than a tub full of water….
Maybe, but there were nine of us kids… So one bathtub
used less than nine
one minuteshowers…Is that what Marketing Science says ? You know, “The Science”
according to Marketing…
Our tank water had a taste, sure, what with all the pollutants dissolved
in it. But it didnt have all the chemicals used to treat mains water in it,
the taste of which seems designed to support the bottled water industry…
It might mean that asbestos is safer than fluoride.
Maybe. You can be efficient with 1 pail of water.
Ok for washing behind your ears, but what about your rear ?
Remember to cross your legs when your are bathing, in order to save this water too.
.
That was before the Environmentalist scam.
These Mark Carney and Maurice Strong fanatics can look you straight into your eyes with an umbrella, jumping around in wellies, claiming they cant find any but dry and lack of water in their ‘Expert’ reports while it rain 700m3 per year per 1000m2 down of the finest drinking water in their fock heads.
God’s creation and God’s gift of plenty to all living right down from the heaven.
“Safety”, “children”,”health” etc are all tools of the oppressor, but they only work because the majority of people hope that the government is being genuine. Go to Gaza and see how genuine they are; the people in the British government baying for this bill also support Israel and the killing of women and children in Gaza. Just remember that when they talk of saving grandma and how you must get the vax etc. Actions speak louder than words and their actions are almost entirely bad for the people.

The end game of course is to get everyone, or at least as many people as possible, to take up digital identity. And this is what the social media ban bollocks is really all about. Digital identity is a key foundation of the digital panopticonic gulag they want to impose on humanity. Creatures like Starmer, Albanese in Australia, Mark Carney, Macron, Ursula Von Der Leyden, et al, are the puppet’s implementing Agenda 2030, aka the New World Order, on behalf of the actual puppet masters. And the Hegelian Dialectic is one of the main tools they use to further their plans.
Children’s wellbeing!!
Perhaps filling hotels with undocumented migrants a number that have turned out to be violent criminals, rapists, pedophiles and murderers.
Government is in full 1984 mode and is shutting down freedom of speech.
The honestly could give a toss for the safety of children…
They have not for a very long time, and always claimed they have…. except when Bill “Fence” said there were too many people on the planet… no ambiguity there
They got good lawyers and never make it in the espstien files.
Since when did the House of Lords start caring about the wellbeing of children? They seem to have missed:
– Establishment paedophile networks
– Ethnic rape gangs
– Medicalistic experimentation, mutilation and terrorism (e.g. re biological sex; contagious diseases)
– Terroristic indoctrination (e.g. “climate change”)
– Sexualised indoctrination (e.g. drag-queens in schools)
– Identity-specific demonisation (e.g. against white boys)

Claire fox is different.
And not at all MI5-ee!
Take note, UK residents. I’m an Australian in my early 60s. I lost all access to Substack, including to my own account (original content, subscriber list, etc.), in early December when Substack unilaterally decided to impose an “age verification” process on all Australian users following the introduction of Australia’s social media ban for users under 16 years of age.
Notably, Substack is not subject to the Australian social media ban. They were not required to do this; and yet they did it anyway.
The “age verification” process involves providing digital identification (facial imaging, etc.) through a third-party vendor, which in its ‘fine print’ admits to using the services of a bunch of other companies in one way or another, some of which you wouldn’t want having your personal information (e.g., Amazon Web Services).
I have tried in vain to access Substack using a VPN service. I somehow managed to sneak in and download my own content a few weeks ago, but now I cannot get back onto Substack at all. At every turn, it blocks me with its pop-up panel about their “age verification” requirement. I cannot even reply to a reader’s comment.
UK, you may very well be next. Back up all your content now. And leave Substack as soon as you can. Do not continue to support this company with your attention and your creativity.
The exact same thing happened to me as well Chris. I had paid subscriptions with at least 8 writers on Substack and at least 24 unpaid subscriptions. It came a surprise to me when I went to check on the latest articles just before Christmas and the Verify Your Age screen popped up instead. As you say, Substack were under no obligation at all to implement this. “And yet they did it anyway”. I’m still getting email notifications of articles and can still read them there if it’s just a written article, but any articles with a video or podcast embedded in them, I can’t watch or listen because that triggers the Verify Your Age screen which I point blank refuse to do. I was using a second bank account to pay for my Substack subscriptions but am now deliberately not leaving enough money in there so the subscriptions lapse. I was really annoyed about this as well. Greetings from Melbourne.
Well, snap! Greeting in return from the hills east of you.
BTW, I started writing on Medium instead. For now, it doesn’t require digital identification. It may be only a matter of time before Medium and various other sites do what Substack has done.
But every cloud… My misadventures with Substack prompted me to create a separate section on my book publishing website for my articles and commentaries, so that I’m not reliant on any of the commercial sites.
Aha! I’m actually in Belgrave today selling The Big Issue street magazine. I come here fairly often and go to Upwey as well, and sell at Warrandyte Markets every month. Very sunny here today. Enjoy your day Chris.
Have you tried VPN plus clearing your browser history before every time you want to log in?
Yes and yes. Still no go.
Who the hell owns Substack?
Do they realise they could go under (pardon the pun) if they continue with this SUB-servient nonsense?
I’ve addressed that in a separate comment. I’ve been hoping that they’d come to their senses purely for financial reasons. As yet (6 weeks and counting), they have not.
I’m guessing that most Australians have complied with their ridiculous “age verification” requirement, so Substack probably has not experienced much of a loss in earnings. Some, yes; but enough to get them to see the error of their ways? Evidently not.
Oh, and I should have mentioned that Australia is a relatively small market for Substack, which is a US company.
Once they start doing the same thing in the UK, though, I think they will begin to feel the pinch — that is, as long as enough people refuse to play along.
That is always the sticking point: mass compliance vs individual noncompliance mathematically always favours the former and minimises the latter.
Wonder what the collective noun is for a group of tech nerds?
A network, a cluster, screen junkies, 0101s?
The possibilities are endless.
Faeces is the one that comes to mind. (Plural of the Latin, faex, meaning ‘dregs’.) Alternatively, feces.
Oh, wait… Sorry; I read ‘tech turds’. 😆
This writer has traced age verification set up – if you can access his substack. Good luck!
https://chemtrails.substack.com/p/substack-biometric-scans-new-us-identity
I traced it myself when Substack first started requiring “age verification.” The third-party vendor Substack is using is Persona.
Persona’s investors include Bond, Coatue, First Round, Founders Fund, Index Ventures, Insight Partners, and Ribbit Capital.
And Persona uses its own third-party vendors when and how it likes when processing Customer Personal Data. They include:

So, a lot of big “AI” players, along with Amazon and Google.
All except the last one are based in the US.
What could possibly go wrong.
A tomb of vampires, sucking the system dry.
Thank you for all your research Chris. I have shared this information.
Thanks, May Hem.
Everyone, please spread the word about the spiderweb of Substack’s “age verification” requirement.
Your personal data doesn’t stay with Substack; they use a third-party vendor to “verify your age” via facial imaging.
And BTW, somewhere in the fineprint, Substack says that your facial images are kept for 7 days; thereafter, they are redacted. Not deleted, merely redacted.
Nor does your personal data stay with Persona, the third-party vendor Substack is using to “verify your age.” It goes to multiple AI companies, plus some really big global players with military and intelligence ties (e.g, AWS, Google).
Correction: I just learned that Substack has since reworded the fineprint on their “age verification” requirement. They have changed ‘redacted’ to ‘deleted’.
It now says “deleted instantly” after 7 days. It takes a week?! Not exactly instant. Why do they need to keep it at all? And who has access to it in the meantime? Do those opaque others delete it “instantly” at any point?
Who do you think owns substack?
Those Israeli bstrds
Close, very close, but no cigar.

They are already censoring in the UK even without the online Children’s ” wellbeing ” and Schools safety bill.
Absolutely unenforceable – also the social media firms will be up in arms about this as they will lose money – and be less able to brainwash the young – I can’t see it being about identifying us as they already have that via e-mails – social media names, and nicknames, which are tied to accounts, then there’s the businesses that advertise on social media platforms, that revenue will also fall – no I see this stunt going the same way as the ID Cards, and being pulled at the last minute.
Think about it – the young are their future customers getting them hooked early in life is a must for the social media platforms, and as Britain is the same as the US a Corporatocracy – this bill is bound to fall later.
“Absolutely unenforceable – also the social media firms will be up in arms about this as they will lose money…”
I thought that, too, when Substack introduced their totally unnecessary “age verification” requirement for Australian users. (See the comment I just posted.)
I’ve been thinking for the past 5 or 6 weeks (the ban came into effect in early December) that Substack will relent because they’re losing so many eyeballs and so much revenue.
Perhaps that will be the eventual outcome. But not so far.
Perhaps most Australian users simply went along with it and provided the vendor (Persona) and its back-room vendors with high-resolution images of their faces and other digital identifiers.
Based on what happened during covid, I’m guessing it’s the latter: most people have complied.
Yes indeed – and I have absolutely no doubts that Australian adults will be accessing social media platforms for their kids to look at – its a bit like adults buying kids alcohol from the shops – kids aren’t suddenly going to stop accessing social media – many working adults depend on it – to keep their kids quiet or busy, when they are multitasking themselves..
Government makes the rules. It’s all about maintaining its power by corruption, less and annisidious agenda…
No, they “won’t be up in arms about that”….
First, the Big Tech anti-social media companies are part of the operating system. They are one part of the ‘private’ in the PPP working hand in glove with governments (one part of the ‘public” in the partnership).
The SM companies may make some noises to claim that they are upset, but that will be just window dressing for public consumption to give the impression of tension and pushback.
The fact is most users will agree to age verification to continue getting their fix. Especially the 16-30 year olds who will fall into line without a doubt. Only a very small percentage of users will refuse and if there is some revenue loss so be it. The agenda is more important than revenue and profits which can be massaged with a helping hand if it were felt really necessary for individual company stock price optics and the stock market in general.
There is an argument to be said it will create more demand from the under-16s, who will be clamouring to sign up at aged 16 as rite of passage or find ways to gain access while underage. Same as going to pubs/clubs or learning to drive.
Replied to you yesterday but I see it didn’t go up.
Re your last para… The young also couldn’t care less about privacy. My guess is that they won’t lose the young, while not giving a shit about the older, more wary audiences.
Maybe the school curriculums have changed.
No more Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm or 1984.

Latest news – the Greenlanders are hastily assembling defense equipment from Denmark – made by Ikea.
Good one May Hem.
They should be done by this time.
In 2050.
Hmm, sounds like a pretty shrewd plan, actually!
With their advanced IKEA-assembling skills, the Greenlanders can time it so that when the invaders burst into their homes, IDF-style, the top-heavy dressers will tip over and crush them like bugs. 🤔 🪲
