Context: UK passed this online safety act thing a few days ago (source) where you have to verify your age on sites that might contain nsfw content and the checks involve stuff like uploading a photo of your face, ID or even your passport. if anything it’s just making people more unsafe (look what happened with the Tea app which required similar verification (source)). ain’t gonna dox myself to the government/companies and it’s easily circumvented using TOR lol. fuck da system🤘

      Yeah using tor broswer is generally slow - adjust expectation and see it as a necessary tradeoff for some privacy and it is fine.

      Further than that, browsing the ‘dark web’ has mainly been a boring/frustrating experience, but going forward, between tech oligarch-surveillance-capitalists co-option of the web on one side, and increasingly authoritarian Western governments on the other, the dark web might be the only place to get an online experience something like I was told the internet was going to be a few decades ago.
