YouTube keeps askin' me for my credit card or personal ID to watch Sseth content.
Sometime in the future I imagine we will be watching his vids on pornhub.
It was some EU shit law they came up and pushed through when everyone was distracted with Corona chan.
Totally not lobbied and bribed by the Big Tech oligarchs. Yes you read it right: right now in the EU, if you want to watch, say Flashgitz "Furry Apocalypse" you will have to give YT (and google-Alphabet by extension) either you credit card info or send copies of your ID, like your passport.
There was a list of smaller exploits you could use to bypass this verification shit but they were quickly and very enthusiastically patched out by Big
Brother Tech.
For now you can use VPN-s to circumvent this problem but on a larger scale this is part of a larger process of implementing real ID checks to access the net. As the western failing nations degenerate further into authoritarian regimes this is only going to get worse.
